Here is a picture of Evan at the top of the driveway ready for the first ride on his sled down on the freshly fallen snow. One advantage to our super steep driveway is that it makes for the perfect sledding hill. Provided mommy doesnt get motivated and shovel it. I didnt.
Nathan can sled on his own!!! He had SO MUCH FUN. The kid was laughing and smiling the entire time outdoors. Here is an action shot of him on his sled.
Then he decided to try out his brother's sleds. Justin said it was "not fair because Nathan weighs so little and goes so much faster than we do". Its true. The kid was SPEEDING down the driveway. I was a tiny bit concerned, but, he was happy as can be.
Then Nathan took out his ride on fire truck toy and said, "this goes in snow". And who was I to argue with that type of verbal logic?! So, he rode it down the driveway. It didnt go fast though. So, he abandoned it for another of his brother's sleds.
Justin had a BLAST outside. He is so animated (of course) and just soaks up life so fully. I got some really great shots of him sledding. I have to say, one of the best things about moving was Justin learning to love playing outdoors. He used to hate to be outside, we never, ever played in the snow at our old house. Here, he couldnt wait to get into his snow pants and play. He didnt even have time to take his backpack indoors, he got right off the bus, put on his snow pants in the garage and was off on his sled before I could blink!
Nathan was excited that he could pick up "big snow" as he put it. I think at first he thought it was going to be heavy like a rock and was pleasantly surprised to find it was easy to pick up (and THROW).
Whats better than playing in the snow? Coming in for hot cocoa, with LOTS of marshmallows.
Quick thinking allergy queen that I am, I found the baking cocoa container and remembered there was a recipe for hot chocolate on the back of it. Some heated up rice milk, a little pinch of cocoa, some sugar and viola, hot cocoa for Nathan too. He couldnt have the marshmallows though, they had corn in them.
YUM. What a fabulous day.

A shot of the pine cones on the trees that the kids spent half an hour picking off. Even Nathan was in on the action.
