Winter Wonderland!

Unlike many people who live around here, I absolutely LOVE the snow! :) Now don't get me wrong, I am always ready for Spring by February and I am sick of staying inside. But, I just said last week that I wanted one big snow before winter was over. My wish was granted!!

Despite Kamie's double ear infection, I wanted to take her out in the snow just to see what she would do. The first time, we bundled her up and just took her outside in our "yard." She was not really all about it! :) She kept signing "all done." She actually enjoyed watching Pixie play in the snow more than playing herself. It was kind of cute! We stayed out about 5 minutes then headed in to warm up.

All ready for her first time "playing" in the snow!

Not sure what to think!

I'm trying to give her kisses and she is telling me "all done."

Watching Pixie play!


Today, my parents came over and decided to take Kamie sledding. I was a little apprehensive because I knew she didn't love it the last time we took her out in the snow. She has been on her antibiotic for 6 days so I figured her ears would be ok. SO... we bundled up again and headed over to the park. K surprised us all and LOVED it! :) She kept signing "more" this time. Every time she went down the hill, she giggled and signed "more." She had me laughing so hard at how excited she got when we asked if she wanted to go for a ride again! She still didn't want to get down on her own and play, but she enjoyed the sled rides. At one point, she called the snow trash and tried to get it out of the sled. :) K lasted about an hour then was ready to go home. I was so proud of her! We had such a great time! Thanks Mamaw and Papaw! We just wished Daddy could've been there.

Honking the horn at Mommy to tell me to hurry up!

Sled ride to the hill.

Getting ready for her first time down with Mamaw!Papaw rushing down to make sure everything went ok!

All is good!!

Thank goodness for Papaw! He carried K up that hill so many times!
Giggling with Mamaw!

Big smiles for Papaw!

Ready for another ride!

Looking like such a big girl!

Down the hill with Mommy!

We had so much fun Mamaw and Papaw!

Pooped after hard day of playing in the snow! :)

Mamaw and Papaw even took a ride down the hill together! I just hope that at 50 years old, I still enjoy sledding with my husband!

it concerns me that your sledding pics have yellow caution tape in the background, right next to where you're sledding! :)
