SNOW!!!


Over the last couple weeks we had 2 different storms blow through that dropped a total of about 12 inches in our backyard.  With new snow boots and pants and gloves - Emmie, Pete and 2 friends - Cameron (8 yrs old) and Laura (12 yrs old) - went a' sledding in our yard.  Laura and Cameron are 2 of Emmie's favorite people in town, and coincidentally, they are the cousins of my best fried Ken.  Awesomeness runs in the family.

Peter didn't freak out, but he wasn't too into it.  That might be due to the fact that the kid couldn't really move in all of his snow gear.  Kind of like the kid on A Christmas Story or Maggie Simpson.

Emmie, on the other hand, went nuts!  She would run and jump onto the sled and bomb down the steepest hills.  If she fell off, she would jump back in and try to push herself the rest of the way down.  She even just ran and jumped head first  and slid down on her belly, sliding and rolling.  She threw snowballs and just went crazy.  It was awesome!

The real craziness started after Julianne took Pete inside, but there are no pictures of that - unfortunately.
