Sledding, too!

We decided to go sledding, and around here, it is hard to go somewhere were everybody else ISN'T!!! We initially tried a hill off the side of the road, but in no time, many cars pulled up behind us (we were the first ones there) and since it was such a small hill, we decided to look elsewhere. We ended up finding a hill that was near the freeway, but couldn't be seen from it, so nobody else showed up! We had the hill all to ourselves! Kids and parents alike had a blast shooting down the hill!

When it came to lunch time, Karen laid out a few blankets on the snow, and between that and the tailgates, we had our own little picnic in the snow! It was just great!

It's SNOW fun!

We woke up the next morning to snow! The first flakes had started to fall while we were unpacking the night we arrived! We donned our snow stuff before we even had Karen's delicious breakfast (Dutch babies)....

Trent was already getting hot! It was not long before the whole jacket came off!

All the kids looked so cute in the trees laden with snow!

A Cabin Retreat

Talbert and Karen invited us up to their family's cabin since it was a long weekend! It was great fun! The kids get along so well, and so look forward to being together! We drove up there and as we were unloading, the first snowflakes fell. The next morning we woke up to snow!When we first got there, the cabin was pretty cold! The kids liked watching their breath inside the cabin. Karen and I left the oven open after the pizza came out to warm up a bit!
Everybody huddled near a heater until the fire got going!PJ's, hot chocolate, good friends, and comic books....can life get any better?

We were wet when we came in after playing in the snow!
Morgan loves to write in her diary!
Go fish!
