Fun in the Snow!

This weekend we had our first big snow.  Not bad for it being the first week of February!  Saturday morning we woke up just as the snow flakes started falling and by noon we had a few inches.  The kids couldn't stay out of it so we went out while the snow was still coming down.  I didn't realize how great of a winter we have had until I was taking off the tags for Hannah's snow pants - she had not even worn them yet!

Henry helping daddy shovel.  You can see the snow still coming down.  It was heavy and wet!

Miss Hannah taking a little walk.

All bundled up with her soaking wet coat! 

First driveway cleared in the neighborhood (maybe not the smartest thing since we were back out a few hours later shoveling again!)

Neighbor girls Jordan and Ellie came over on Sunday and the three of them went tubing down our hill in the backyard.  Henry had a blast!!

Look at him go!

At one point all three of them got on the tube at the same time.  Henry was lying over both of their laps! 

We had to make a snowman of course.

It was maybe the smallest snowman I've seen - but was very nicely decorated!!

Hannah, Andy and I all came inside to warm up - but Henry stayed out for another 40 minutes!  I think he brought every single outside toy for a ride around the driveway. 

The slide was very slick making it super fast and fun.  The kids flew off the end of it into the snow. 

Why not play a little house in the snow??

The kids had a blast playing in the snow this weekend.  Though I am not a huge fan of the cold, snowy weather, I was a little bummed thinking we may go through an entire season without one good snow.  So now that it came, it can go and spring can arrive so we can get out of the house more!  My kids are going stir crazy!!
