Snowy Days

Thomas took my kids sledding and I tagged along for once! The boys got snow boards for Christmas two years ago and are getting pretty good on them. Someday maybe we will have to take them to a real place to go snowboarding. Maybe if we win the lottery--IT IS SO EXPENSIVE!!! Anyway my batteries died in the camera after we'd been there for 10 minutes, so I didn't get very many pics.
Davis did not dig the snow or sledding. I'm not sure if it was because it was cold, or because his snow suit was so bulky he kept falling over. He reminds me of Ralphie in "The Christmas Story". Bennett thought the more he took Davis down the hill, the more he would like it. WRONG. I saved him after the third attempt. I'm not sure if you can tell, but poor Davis is holding on for dear life.
Carson loves going down on the sled like it is a snowboard and was very proud of himself for making it all the way down without falling.
Adi is my biggest dare devil. Sad, but true. She loves to go sledding and is such a trooper. Thomas tells her she can't go unless she carries her own sled up the hill. He usually waits at the top of the hill and helps the kids go down as they come up. I couldn't believe my eyes when I watched Adi time after time, pick up her sled and march up the hill without one complaint. She was the only one that did not want to go home when it was time to leave.

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! We got Ellie a snow suit this year and she has yet to put it on - sad, huh? And now it is almost spring - oh well...we'll make it up to her next winter! And I loved your last post about the casserole - that made me laugh out loud! Love you!
