Playing in the SNOW!

After experiencing the ups and downs in temperatures over the past few months, we FINALLY got some snow last week, and we were all very happy that it arrived! The first thing Brett said when he woke up in the morning to all the snow was, "I want to build a snowman!". I thought that was a fantastic idea, so that afternoon we bundled up and went outside. Unfortunately it wasn't packing snow, so Frosty had to wait until another time - so instead we decided to help daddy out and do some shoveling. Brett was a great helper and was so proud of himself! Then, on Friday night it snowed even more, so of course we had to go sledding. Our friend and neighbor Garry (along with his daughter Carolyn) invited us over Saturday after lunch to sled in their backyard. It is the perfect size hill for 3 year olds and the kids had a blast! I didn't take the camera that time, but next time I will for sure - Brett was all smiles and giggles going up and down the hill - and the best part was that he would walk up the hill himself this year! It easy to forget how fun and refreshing some good outdoor fun can be - and both Kyle and I had a blast too --- and can't wait for it to snow again (as it has already melted :-( ). Below are some shots I got of Brett enjoying what winter should be all about! :-)
