Snow, Sweet Snow

GLORIOUS SNOW!!

Picture by our creek. It reminded the boys of Narnia.

It finally happened. We got enough snow to actually get out and play in. AND it happened on a Saturday so Tony was home to play in it too!

I think we had about 6 inches and it was just perfect for sledding.

I'm the incognito (but warm!) one in the middle...

Even the animals wanted to play with us in the snow. I think Billy (the horse) really enjoyed the extra fun of everyone coming into his pasture to play. He kept trying to talk me into making snow cream, but I was too busy sledding.

Somehow the boys kept getting the sled away from me though -

And while this part was a lot of fun...

It was THIS part that made me REALLY wish we had a ski lift system or something for getting up this hill...


But, how is this for cute?

Some folks are just doggone cute even all bundled up and covered in snow - as opposed to looking like some kind of crazy mad stalker...

And I'll leave you with this funny that I saw over on Randy Alcorn's blog -

With all the sadness going on in the world, it's worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokie Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

I thought about you and wondered if you had gotten any of the snow. I sure wish that we had!
