Snow, snow, snow!!

We went sledding with our friends, Andy and Andrea last week. It was so much fun! This is the first time the kids have ever been sledding (except for when Lily was a baby) and they loved it!


Andy and Lily are just about to go over a steep little ridge. Look at the apprehensive expression on her face.


Then they're over the edge and Lily realizes it's just plain old fun!


Cutest snow baby! I love babies bundled up in puffy snowsuits. Hazy loved being outside in the fresh air. She enjoyed seeing birds flying around and seeing the tree branches move in the wind.


Andrea played a lot with Hazel.


Aaron and Andy became friends in the first grade. I think it's so cool that they're still close.


Carter's been dying to do this for months! He's been practicing at home: grass angels, carpet angels, rock angels (just kidding!).



The adult to child ratio (4:3) was perfect for a day in the snow! I could handle the extra help more often! My kids love how Andy and Andrea play with them and teach them.



Andy and the kids made a snow man.


On our afternoon walk. Carter loved throwing snowballs at everyone!!





I love that we live in the desert, but in less than two hours' time we can be in the snow. It's fabulous! We loved the snow trip and the fun with friends! As a side, I didn't take any of these photos. They were all captured by Andy, Andrea, and Aaron. I think they got some incredible pictures that weekend.
