SNOW!!!

We had TRUE snow this year!! Hooray! Normally we get icy, yucky stuff. But this snow was at least 6 inches, and awesome packing snow for snowmen and sledding.
Here is a collage of some pictures from the day/night it snowed Dec. 18th and Dec. 19th. We had fun sledding at Mike and Shannon's Friday evening while it was still snowing hard. Then Saturday we built Frosty Tom (Bridget wanted the name Tom and Dillon wanted Frosty - so he became Frosty Tom). We sled on a snow tube into the trees on the other side of the driveway. It wa a little perilous b/c you had to make sure he didn't hit any trees, but it was fun! Mike, Shannon, Xander and Jonas came over to sled with us. They stayed for dinner and to watch The Polar Express. That's what winter is about - fun in the snow and fun with friends!


On the 23rd we went back out to sled a little b/4 the snow melted. I discovered that the front ditch was a good slower place to sled (I watched the kids next door to figure this out). Bridget was feeling well, so she didn't last long outside, but Dillon had a blast going in the tube alone and with Brian and me. It would be great if we got another good snow this year!
