"Real Snow" =)

We got a nice amount of snow this past weekend.  Just enough for the kids to have fun sledding and playing outdoors QUITE a BIT.!  The snow is almost like a new toy, although, I'm sure the novelty will wear off before too long ;-) 

I just had to get a few/bunch of pictures of their latest fun outside.  I laughed at Cocoa, she's like a kid in the snow.  She'd lick it, bite it, bound through it like a kangaroo, dig in it, and bury her nose.  SO FUNNY to watch!  I think it's safe to say she loves the snow =) 

 sledding hill / plunge--they're so happy daddy plowed it this way!

 MMMmm---icicles!

The crazy dog!

 See Jake's fort?

Happy 7th Birthday Larissa!

Hope you have a very fun day =)

We miss you!

1st snow

 Excited, happy kids to finally have snow!

 We didn't get much more snow than what you see in the top picture, but where there's a will there's a way ;-)  They scraped together enough snow to make their mini-snowmen =)

Pretty.  I don't care what you say, this is WI, I love the seasons, and I like the snow---at least until February!

*These pictures were taken a few weeks ago--we don't have any snow right now, much to my kid's dismay.  I'm hoping this year we'll at least have enough snow that they can do a bit of sledding--last year we pretty much missed out on that here---I guess we'll have to go up north more ;-)

Good luck to my 2 hunters!

Make it a GREAT HUNT ;-)
