Snow Play

Finally the snow came to Denver. We have been waiting and waiting and it decided to come when we were all sick. But it is rare that we get a snowy morning when Jared is home from work or church. So we bundled up and filled our pockets with tissues ready to shovel and walk down the street for a little bit of sledding. Elise & I went down the hill once, got tired, and hurried back into the warm house to make hot chocolate for the boys.

Grey has been talking about making snow angels for most of the year and finally got his chance.

He pulled out his "G-sized" shovel and helped daddy clear the snow.

We bundled up Elise in Grey's old snowsuit. I couldn't get over the cuteness. She looked like a big, red marshmallow.

And of course I had to look back for the picture of Grey wearing it exactly three years ago when he was a few months younger than Elise. Wow they grow up quickly!

The dogs get in on the fun too!

Then it was off to the sledding hill. Jared took Grey down the first few times until he wanted to do it all by himself. He was very proud! Especially considering we have been trying to take him for three winters and he was always nervous and/or crying the whole time.
