Snow day

On Saturday, we had our first snow of the season. Brady and Ian were so excited to wake up and see the snow falling. They couldn't wait to get outside and play. After breakfast, we all bundled up and headed outside. The first thing the boys wanted to do was build a snowman (their first snowman ever). Ian was very good at rolling a snowball!

Jeremy asked the boys if they wanted a big snowman or a Brady-and-Ian-sized snowman. They wanted one that was their size, so that's what they got. After we had all of the snowballs in place, we added tree branches for arms and wrapped a scarf around the snowman's neck. Ian and Brady added a carrot nose and grapes for eyes and buttons.

Here is the finished snowman. The boys named him Bumby. They came up with the name by themselves. :)

They were so proud of their snowman!

Next, they went sledding on our hill. Last year they didn't really enjoy sledding but this year was completely different. Here, Ian was pushing Brady back up the hill for another ride.

Here's a video clip of them on the sled:




Next, they made snow angels:


Finally, we had a little snowball fight!


We had such a great time! After all of that fun, we came inside and the boys got to drink hot chocolate for the first time. Needless to say, they loved it!
