Winter is Here!

Garrett has been waiting for two years for snow to play in! The last two winters we had more ice than anything - nothing conducive to making snowballs, a snowman, or going sledding. So, Garrett was quite ecstatic to wake up Sunday morning to roughly 10 inches of white powder to get out and just roll around in! He couldn't stop giggling! :)

And three days later it's still here due to these utterly frigid temps! The boys couldn't be happier, and it has helped keep their anxious minds off of waiting for Friday to get here, too! :)

Garrett quickly figured out how to work his "sled", and proceeded to give Carson some pointers until they were both sliding down our little man-made hill all by themselves! (Our yard is flat, so we spent a good bit of time building a small hill by the garage first!)






Then Garrett tried getting a little tricky going down the little hill all different ways. :) Oh, such fun!






























Carson loved going down on his back with his legs up in the air! He giggled all the way down every time! :)













We are definitely looking forward to more sledding fun this afternoon and again tomorrow before the rain comes in the middle of Christmas day to wash it all away! I have a feeling it's going to be a snowy winter, though! I just LOVE it! Why have winter without white snow to make the bare gray landscape beautiful and give us plenty to do outside! Hurray for one of God's many miraculous creations - SNOW!!!!
