Our Snow Day

I looked out the window today and was surprised to find that it had actually snowed. This was a pretty decent snowfall unlike others we've had. It snows about once year here and even then it's nothing to brag about. But today there was enough snow that I wished that my kids had snow gear. I have a few items I've saved from when we lived in Alaska and I still have my ski pants from oh, 18 years ago. . .while we weren't the most fashionable on the sledding hill we made do and had a really fun day. This hill is in our friend's backyard. Though it doesn't look it, it's a pretty steep hill.Here's Jenna in Kelsey's old coat, hat and gloves. Poor girl had to wear sz. 12 boots when she only wears a 6.Kelsey making snow angels with her friend McKenna.Ryan trudging up the hill.Jenna with her best friends Mason and Taylor.Kate spent most of her time exploring the woods.Eric didn't come outside with us when we were sledding. He was supposed to be taking a nap but didn't. I didn't bring his snow gear with us so he missed his chance flying down the mountain with his momma! He did play outside this morning once I finished shoveling the driveway. You caught that I said shovel and not snow blow right? You don't realize how long your driveway is until you have to shovel it.

That takes me back. Do you remember Traci?

Now that it's snowed I realize how much I miss it. I miss how it brightens up the night. I love getting all decked out and playing in it-sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Someday.
