First winter snow fall of 2008


Here is Mark headed out to work Thursday morning. It started snowing Wednesday night and we had a few inches by morning...of course, it was a snow day which meant kids were home all day having fun in the snow!


As soon as Ben woke up and saw that it was snowing, he had to run out (without his coat!) and try out his new winter boots!



Paige tried hers out too, and although she still had her pjs on she DID put her coat on!



Paige was going to do a 'test'....here is my finger....




And here is how deep the snow is!



Ben making a snow angel. By this time he actually had all his snow clothes on. YAY Ben!




Paige making her snow angel...





The kids headed to the top of a hill on our driveway to sled down it. Notice how Ben conserves his energy? He carries his sled on his head!




Paige thought it would be a good idea to take Morpheus for a walk in the snow. He did NOT think so! I wouldn't let her keep him out for more than a few minutes as I didn't want him to get frostbite on his little pads...




View from our front porch....




Looking down the driveway from our house...




One of the trails into the forest on our property..





Paige and I thought this was really neat the way the snow 'decorated' the bricks on our back patio!
