Snow Days!

Thursday, January 19 was a snow day for Kyler's school. Due to the icy conditions, school was canceled for the day. :) Kyler thought that was fantastic! Unfortunately, due to the freezing rain on top of the snow on the ground, it made for some very hard, crusty snow/ice which was difficult to play in. But the kids had fun crunching around the yard and pulling icicles off trees.

He is so adorable!

My handsome young man!


On Sunday, the 22nd, we had a really fun snow day at home with the family. Things were still covered in snow/ice but there was no more freezing rain. So we took our toboggan sled and Greg pulled the kids around our street/culdesac. It was so much fun watching the sheer joy on the boys' faces. The LOVED it! Greg got a little tired out since he was the one doing most of the work. But Kyler did take at least one turn at pulling Greg on the sled which was pretty cute. :)

Having so much fun

The kids loved this activity so much!

I even got a turn!

So far, we have really enjoyed living here and getting the occasional snow on the ground. It is so pretty and since it doesn't last that long, we like it. I think if there was snow all winter long, I would get tired of it. But I really like this amount. We had so much fun together as a family! Good memories.
