Snow Fun

 

 

 

We were lucky enough to get some snow at our house. We went out with our sleds and cruised around the neighborhood.

Liam made snow angels. 

We got to tromp around the field and build snowmen. 

We took the kids ice skating over winter break. They both enjoyed it.

 

Even Brielle got the hang of it.

Since our kids enjoyed the snow at our house so much we decided to drive an hour to a fun sledding area. When we got there Brielle wanted NOTHING to do with it. She refused to put on her snow clothes and get out of the car. After sitting with her for 1/2 hour I forced her to put on her clothes and captured this lovely picture. 

We then had her try sledding down the hill which resulted with her throwing off her gloves, shoes, hat etc... We then sat in the car for the rest of the time.

 

Liam on the other hand loved it. He spent 2 hours exploring snow tunnels, sledding and building snowmen. So, I am happy the drive paid off for at least 1 kid.

Christmas

 

On Christmas Eve we made gingerbread cookies for Santa. Each kid got to decorate their own tray of cookies.

 

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The kids opened presents and we enjoyed a nice dinner together.

 

We came home and got ready for Santa. We put out his milk and cookies. We also put out some carrots for the reindeer.

 

Christmas morning was amazing. The kids screamed every time they opened a present. Liam got Prep and Landing Christmas Elf Gear and Brielle got a doll crib and Candyland Book.  

 

Later in the day our families came over to continue the Christmas fun. We shared an amazing meal together.

Here is what our floor looked like after all of the fun!
