Winter Wonderland!

We had snow early this year and were sure we would have a white Christmas.  It mostly melted off but we did have some snow left.  Tammy and Toby had to leave on Monday and on Tuesday night the rain turned into snow!  It snowed all day Wednesday and we ended up with about 9 inches.  SO BEAUTIFUL!  There are sled riders nonstop on the hill behind our house.  Everything is covered and it is magical.  A little late to share with Dallas and Wes for Christmas :(

But we were healthy enough for some New Years Eve fun.  Megan and Melissa invited Natalie and Sophie over for some sled riding.   Mike got out the ATV and towed the kids on the sleds up and down the street. Jenny came down too.

CLEARLY Mother Nature doesn't understand Christmas.....
She's a little late in delivering the snow.
