Snow, Snow, Snow!

Snow makes me all giddy, just the same way it did when I was a little girl. I love it! It means sledding, snowball fights, forts, rosy cheeks, hot chocolate, long johns, beautiful snow covered trees and skiing, if we are lucky enough to get to go. I have not outgrown my love of snow and I am so glad! So many adults complain about the snow and what a pain it is. I think snow makes everything so much more beautiful and fun. I especially love waking up to snow. It just seems so magical. I used to pray for snow all the time when I was little, especially on Christmas Eve. We woke up to softly falling snow on Friday morning and the snow did not stop until Sunday afternoon. We got so much snow (about a foot and a half)! We had so much fun in it!

We went outside as soon as we could on Friday to enjoy the snow.

Such a pretty fir tree!

Since it was Saturday, Tyler was able to play out in the snow with us! We went to Sugarhouse park and went sledding. Elanor LOVED it. She was laughing the whole way down the hill because she loved it so much. She even wanted to go down the hill by herself and we let her (she did not fall over or anything).

 A huge smile for us at the bottom of the hill.

Fun day sledding!


On Sunday, we woke up to even more snow!

It is supposed to warm up again this week, but we look forward to having a very snowy winter!
