Snow Fun!

The kids have been waiting for there to be enough snow to go sledding. Since Sunday isn't the best day for us to go sledding, they have been very frustrated that the weather always seems to be the best on that day. They were thrilled to wake up Monday morning and have there still be plenty of snow. We got everyone bundled up which is always quite the process with four kids but even more of an ordeal when one seven year old is quite particular about the way she looks in all the gear. We won't mention how "ugly" black snow pants are or how "puffy and fat" they make us look! And of course we definitely won't talk about how "weird" we look in snow hats! So finally after mom got a little creative and we figured out how to please even the pickiest of sledders, we were on our way to hit the "grassy hill." The grassy hill is actually in one of the common areas of our neighborhood. It is the perfect size for rolling down in the summer time and sledding down in the winter. Here are a few of our fun moments I was able to catch before the battery died on my camera! Notice in one of the pictures Kade decided he was tired of sledding the regular way and had the idea to use the sled as a snowboard. He looks like quite the "dude!" He is sure dad needs to buy him a snowboard now! And the last picture shows how excited Aleaha was to leave!
