Let it snow!

We had a huge snow on Friday - the biggest snowstorm in this area since 1996! Ian and Brady were so excited to be getting more snow, just 2 weeks after our last snow. The storm started before we made it home, and the snow fell very quickly. This is a picture of the boys looking out our front door about an hour after the snow started.

We woke the boys up around 5:30 and they quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the window to see the snow. By that time we had about 3-4 inches.

Saturday morning, we woke up to about 16 inches of snow on the ground! We made it outside around lunchtime and brought out the sleds. We quickly found that the snow was a little too deep for the boys to have much fun. They tried to pull their sleds up the hill but handed that task over to Jeremy after a few steps.

The snow was up to their thighs! While trying to walk up the hill, Ian said "This is hard work!"

We decided that Jeremy would pull the boys up the hill on a sled. Unfortunately, we lost Ian!

We had to reposition the boys in the sled, and finally we made it to the top of the hill! By this time all of us were snowy and cold, and the boys were ready for a ride.


This picture shows how deep the snow was!
After one more ride on the sled, we were all ready to head inside.

We spent a total of about 10 minutes outside, and that was enough! The boys warmed up with some hot chocolate, which always makes things better!
