SNOW!

The 9 ft snowman was the talk of every Friday Funday until it was time for the Chirstmas party at our house. Here are a few of our friends taking turns climbing and conquering the Mount Everest of snowmen :) (Maxwell (on top), George (dinosaur hat), Zack (camo coat), Jakob K.(looking at snowman), Jane (pink), and Chloe(behind trampoline))

This is how you get packages delivered when you have our driveway in the winter. I got a big laugh when I pulled into the driveway and saw it for the first time. We love our van and it's amazing VSA, who needs 4 wheel drive when you have an Odyssey, woohoo we are not home bound for the next several months :)

I promise I don't need a tutorial in how to get things in sequential order. Sometimes it just takes more brain power than I have time to channel.

Whoosh! Lightning speed!

Ready, Set GO!

See the little dots all piled on top of the big dot at the top of the hill? they are all piled on top of Sam ready for sled bowling. You see, the goal is to get through the space in the trees for a 'strike'. See "Ready, set Go!" for cute little faces.

STRIKE!

Can we do it again?! Squeals and shrieking and all manner of excited noise ensue for hours more and every single time they go outside. They live outside. I am serious. It's the first thing they want to do in the morning and they don't come in until much after dark. Yes, I feed them. It's not something they are entirely happy about some of the time. My next project is to invent a warm vitamin packed smoothie they can just suck out of a camel pack. Did I mention we are a cold weather family?

Can it be? Did we really finally get snow? Yipee! First snow 2009
