Snowballs and Sleds

Well, it's not just beginning to look a lot like Christmas...the white Christmas weather has arrived in full force. We woke up early to take Brady to his ACT test and then we ran a couple of errands at Target and the Mall. When we left the mall, we walked outside to a winter wonderland. The ground was completely covered with snow and the flakes were coming down very fast. It was a little scary driving home. Brad had planned ahead and said we would be driving the truck today. We drove in 4-wheel drive mode and made it home safely.

The kids were so excited to play outside in the snow.

They got all bundled up and so did Dad. He totally ambushed them and the snowball fight began.

Look at those eyes. Ooh!

Braxley doesn't look thrilled.

Now it's pay back time!

Oh no! It's the Christmas Story movie all over again!

Now it was time to break out the snow sleds. We found the perfect spot in our neighborhood to go sledding.

They used the sled as a snow board too.

Kasey would get a running start...

...then he would slide fast!

The kids had such a fun day and even said that this was the longest time they had ever played in the snow. When we lived in AZ we would usually go play in the snow during the school's winter break, but we wouldn't even be able to stay an hour before we all froze! But now, there will be many more fun snow days like this to enjoy for these happy faces!

Can we go again?
