It Snowed Again!

Before we moved to Colorado, we did our research. The weather is supposedly similar to Utah's and everyone said, "Oh, it snows. But, it's almost always melted by lunchtime, so it's not that big of a deal." "Okay," we thought. 3 of our 4 Christmases it has snowed. A Lot. And, the one that it didn't, we were in Arizona!

So, here are the girls, out shoveling snow again. (This is 3 of the last 4 days, we've been out shoveling)

Sadie even thought it was fun to put her face straight into the snow!

She also got her own shovel out to help.

But then, decided it was too much work, so she took a break.

Here she is, supervising her Dad's shoveling. I don't care what she thinks, he did a fabulous job! Thanks, sweetie!

Morgan wanted to "save" some snow in her bucket. We told her it would turn into water, but she continued to fill it up. Now, there's a bucket of water in the garage.

And, the 6+ inches we've received over the last couple of days made for perfect sledding snow. Our neighbors have a nice slope in their front yard that goes into our yard, so we asked them if we could use it for our sledding hill. Brian got a new sled for Christmas, and he wanted to try it out.
They even let us borrow their sled so we had two.

Sadie is adventurous!! She couldn't get enough sledding! We'd just lay her in the disk and push her and off she went!!
Morgan, on the other hand, prefers to be a little more cautious.
Look at Sadie's knees. See how deep the snow is?

Here's Mackenzie and Sadie in the sled. Lots of fun!
If we could stay home and play in the snow everyday, we'd love it!

My kids love sledding this year too! It's so fun. Kalli likes it the most because she gets pulled up the hill. The things we do...

And I just have to tell you- your Christmas looks PERFECT! You made your tree/presents/cupcakes all look like they are straight of a magazine. Hello Martha!
