Snow Days

On December 22nd we woke up to the beginnings of a winter wonderland. The snow finally stopped around mid-day and after Finn's nap we ventured out to play. The boys were bundled up well and we were able to enjoy quite a bit of time outside. We found that summer sand toys also work quite well in the winter snow. With shovels and buckets the kids had fun exploring the snow and making their own paths. Over the course of the Christmas holiday we ventured out for fun in the snow several more times. Including the 23rd where we went sledding. That evening we also did a quick Christmas lights tour. It was amazing to me to see the difference between the roads in Colorado Springs and the roads by us.  The never did plow our road.  We bumped along on it for at least two weeks!  But we loved our time together in the snow!

Cute little boys!

I was a little afraid that Reid would slip and fall. I move like a snail when snow is packed like that. I'm so not ready for a little running boy, haha!

That was one of the biggest snow storms I've ever seen here. And it was a beautiful storm... big fluffy flakes instead of our usual grainy sand flakes that blow sideways and take off your skin.

Looks like your boys had a great time in the snow!

Wow! We haven't seen a single flake here all season! Even though I don't envy the roads, my kids would love to have some snow. It was 71 degrees yesterday when I walked the kids home from school!

The boys (all three) look like they are having a great time!
