Let it Snow!

I love snow. I also married a man who loves snow. And we made some babies that inherently love snow as well. It makes for a very happy family when we finally get some! Here are some of our recent snow activities.

Activity #1

Coop loves to help shovel the snow. Hopefully that lasts to when he's a little older and can actually do some good!

Activity #2

Ok, so its not snow technically but its the same concept. We had a fun time introducing ice skating to Coop at Caleb's Northstar Christmas party. His skates were about 8 sizes too big but he had a good time anyway.

Ignore the super red/chapped lips. He has a bad habit of licking his lips although we keep reminding him not to.

Activity #3

Coop LOVES to sled. He could care less that its 17 degrees out or that his fingers are like ice cubes or that his nose resembles Rudolph, he just wants to keep sledding. And after a couple runs with Daddy, he was ready to venture off on his own.

And even Carter was getting in on the action too!

Maybe he saw his big brother and thought he should follow but shortly after Coop's solo run, Carter tried his own solo run by scooting down the hill. Not sure if that was his intent or not:-)

Needless to say we are enjoying the snow and would love to receive more so...

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Block Stacks Beware!!!

Decorating the Tree

Carter just wanted to eat the lights.

Cooper wanted to hang every ornament.

And in the end, both boys just wanted to wrestle.
