snow much fun

during our christmas holidays (two weeks for me and three for rob) we've been able to take full advantage of mountains of snow that are every where.  seriously.  we haven't had this much snow in december since 1904.  i'm so not complaining.  just means we have more snow to sled on and make snowmen with.  precisely what we've been doing.  and we've been doing it almost everyday, even when it was -20.  the kids are troopers.  we also got liam out for his first ski day yesterday.  it was a total success, kept asking to go again and again.  absolutely zero complaints of sore/cold feet.  and to top the day off, rob and i were even able to get a couple runs in.  just the two of us.  but more on our ski adventures later.  back to sledding and snow people.

liam rocked the old school gt snow racer like a champ. circa 1990's.

only reason he wanted to go inside was because "mommy i'm frozen!"  and he was.

averie got towed around the snow by her big cousin and was perfectly happy having her valet do so.

the rest of us took turns using the blue circle of death (think chevy chase in christmas vacation)

and the other various sledding choices.  

zero children or adults were harmed during the making of our snow fun.

inside for hot chocolate and beers, followed by some good 'ol hanging out by the christmas tree.

weather got warmer here just after christmas.

we tried to go sledding again but it was more like a sheet of ice. 

so we built a snowman snow angel, with her own set of antlers.

her face is a little questionable.

 kids had a blast making it and being tossed in the snow.

and really, that's the only thing that matters.

oh ya and when did averie stop looking like my baby girl?  

when did she turn into that little girl in these photos?

baby averie no more.  hello toddler-hood.
