Snowy Goodness

We've had gobs and gobs of snow in the last week and we actually spent some time playing in it.Cooper and Quinn are at the age where they both enjoy it...I have pictures of both kids crying in the snow in the past;lots of work getting ready for them to be outside a whole FIVE minutes. Now, they can put all their gear on by themselves(thanks school!) and actually be outside for an hour or more.....makes me tolerate winter just a little bit..Over the Christmas weekend we made a snowman, shovelled and snowblowed, and took the kids sledding. I dusted off the snowpants and bought some new snow boots and we went to a nice hill close by. Cooper had a blast.Quinn took awhile to warm up since on her first trip down she flew into the air and landed on her shoulder!Ron sprained his thumb!I ended up going backwards several times but..the temperature was perfect and the best thing of all was all the laughter and watching the elation on Cooper's face as he flew down the hill yelling "woo hoo" and then giving me two thumbs up.
