Enjoying the snow

We decided that with all the snow we got we couldn't let it all go to waste. So while Wyatt was off work on Christmas Eve we went and bought a couple of sleds, came home and made a sledding hill just outside our house. It was great! Aubrey and I didn't have to get all bundled up and go out in the snow, but we could still watch the fun and get good pictures. Sadie could come and go as she pleased. She would get cold and come in for a while, then decide she wanted to play some more and go back outside. Each kid could come in as they were done and get hot chocolate, and let those who still wanted to play stay out and not have to hear whining. It was a win win for everyone. Here are some pictures of the fun.

Derek trying out the hill.

These two pictures are of Sadie walking in her daddy's footsteps. I thought it was so cute. 

Now Sadie is taking a turn on the sled with her dad.

Brynli giving it a try. Wyatt made Brynli and Sadie their own run. It was a little slower and minus the jump at the bottom.

Derek had to give his snowboard a try too.

Brynli did her part to help with the igloo.

The finished igloo. Not to bad.

And here are the die hards, Wyatt and Kamryn. They stayed out the longest. They were just having way to much fun.

And here is a cute picture of Aubrey all bundled up. She didn't go sledding with the kids, but she still has a nice warm coat to keep her warm on these cold winter days.
