Let it Snow!

It's unfortunate that Christmas this year couldn't be white, but Mother Nature redeemed herself on New Years Eve when a winter snow storm blew in. I was so excited!! My feet were in my boots before any of the kids.

There was only about a few inches (at most) of snow on the ground, but we thought it was the perfect opportunity to use unreasonably large and complex machinery to remove it from our driveway. The men loved it.







What would a snow storm be if we didn't go sledding down the massive West Valley Middle School hill?
If the experience could be summarized as a mathematical formula, it would be as follows:

Steep slopes + plastic sleds + small children = intense wipeouts.







And I caught a glimpse of one little boy catch a snowflake with his tongue for the very first time :)
