SNOW!!!

Oh My Goodness!!!! What fun the snow can be when you are a child!!! As much as I don't like the cold weather and the wet ground all season long, this is what makes it all worth while.....seeing your kids have a BLAST!!!

Paul and Becca came up for the weekend, (now living in St. George, they don't see much of any snow) we couldn't get the kids together fast enough so they could play in the snow. This being pretty much the first snow to stick around for them to play in I gave in and let them run around until their little fingers were frozen.

Of course we had had snow ball fights before, but never had we made snowmen. And who else would be out there with them than myself :) and yes, I admit I had fun out in the snow with them.

I showed them how to start a small snow ball and then roll it on the ground in the snow to make an even bigger snow ball, they were amazed, to say the least. They all caught on pretty quickly with a little help.....and as you can see they made a family of snowmen. They however, weren't very interested with dressing them up, just rolling HUGE balls of snow.

There was also just some playing in the snow too.

Their snowmen masterpieces

Much of the time we found Cason (the kids' cousin) sitting and eating/licking snow... haha

This still cracks me up when I look at this picture. Tage, on purpose mind you, thought it would be fun to push snow into his face...not knowing the consequence of getting snow caught up inside his nose. Look really closely.

After a while of fun and the excitement wore off, the kids came in....cold, wet and with red noses. Nothing a good cup of Hot Cocoa wouldn't fix.... it sure was yummy!
