The very first night it snowed we could hardly contain ourselves and opted to 'slide'
over to the nearby school in the dark and sled down the hill.
Kellen LOVED it.
It was awesome showing our almost four year old how
much fun you can have in the snow.
This is how I found him the following morning.
lol
He was 'dressed' and ready to go play in the snow!
Snow angels were great, but the snow was about too fluffy
to build snowmen and igloos. Jon managed to get this
one made.. We should have named him Whopper.
His eyes are whoppers and his nose is a mike n ike.
...and this was a day that k and I went out to play
while Jon was at work.
Jon had showed him he could eat the snow, so he of course
was having a few scoops while he played.
We built a ramp for his sled, which was awesome. but too hard to hold an
expensive camera in one hand and make sure the kiddo got safely down the ramp
at the same time. so no footage of that one.
we broke out the dune racer for some off roadin!
For several days this is what we did. K would paint and I would scrapbook
at the table beside him. We'd venture outside to play, but for the most part
we enjoyed being indoors where it was warm.
I am spoiled to the fact that I get to stay home with him,
a lot of my love for snow is the part where you wear comfy clothes, sip a hot beverage
and watch it from the comfort of your own home.
I do feel for those that had to venture out every day in it and
head to work. no bueno :(
but on a brighter note, he had a great time building forts and
bringing every toy he owns to the living room to share the covers with
him :)
We attempted to sled at the Fish Hatchery one day..
attempt is a strong word, we were there for 10 minutes total
and then were all headed to our cars and complaining
that it was too cold. (IT WAS)
and this next picture makes me laugh. Jon's feet would dig
in the snow at the bottom of the hill and it was throwing
the snow up in K's face and he did NOT
appreciate it much. ha
This didn't happen at the other sledding location
so he decided he liked it much better.
After Jon had to help a group of guys get a lady's
car out of the ditch, slipping and sliding around and the
drive-by to the hatchery, we opted to head to the
Paul's house to play.
Aunt Dana offered to work on gingerbread houses.
This was Kellen's first time to do this, so I
of course wanted to drag out the camera.
:)
Brody and Kellen were too funny during this entire thing.
Kellen was trying to listen and do what the big boys
were doing, and Brody.. well all Brody was trying to
do is eat his doors and windows to his gingerbread
house!
Everyone was working on their pieces and Brody was
just chomping away!
It was pure entertainment to his Aunt Jen!
They both managed to salvage a few pieces and
get them to stick long enough to add candy, get
a picture and then eat it!
Which is all they really wanted to do anyways :)
Kellen's first gingerbread house.
Have yourself a snowy little Christmas!
It could happen
