Snow - Part 2

WARNING!  Excessive Photos!

I should start this blog post off by mentioning there has been much discussion of snow at our house.  The kids (particularly Hailey) could not understand why it didn't snow on Christmas and I've spent the last few weeks trying to help Hailey understand that even though Christmas is over, it is still winter for quite some time. 

So Sunday morning we woke up to this:

About 9am Tyler opened the door to get a better look and declared, "It's a dream come true".  And right about that time it started snowing again really hard.  So most of the day was spent out in the snow and I captured a large portion of it on the camera.  So this post will be mostly a photo tour of our "finally" snowy day.  OF course the snow has not continued for another three days but that's another post.

beginning of the day snow angel.....by the end of the day we had about 5 inches of snow.

Our hill is always the sledding hill for the neighborhood which is convenient when we want to sled and not so convenient when you want to get your car up or down the hill.  The kids also love going down to the park at the bottom of our hill because there is a short steep hill there that is good fun for sledding (especially if your dad builds a little jump half way down).  I think this is really the first year that both kids sled down our big hill in front of our house on their own.  Hailey still needs a little help getting on sometimes but is more than happy to take the ride down on her own.

 Later in the day it was time for snowmen.  It was Dave and Tyler because Hailey was ready to be inside and stay warm.

 I think these couple were actually from Monday.
