Snow!!

It was great getting to New York again. The girls were awesome on the plane and sat together in their own aisle while Eric, Colt, and I sat across the aisle from them. They're getting so old! Colt was a handful to say the least but he wasn't screaming so that's a plus. We got there Christmas night and of course the girls got right into presents and loved every minute of it. It was so good to see everyone. After a late night it started snowing early the next morning. A few hours later we were out for our first session of playing in the snow!

Hannah and Rae on the trampoline. The girls loved it this year! Last year they didn't have so much fun but this time they loved it. When it was done I think we got like 16". And it stuck around the whole time we were in New York.

In this picture with Hannah you can see the snow drifts. It was so crazy windy when it snowed that some places had no snow and right next to it there would be a huge pile. Some of the hills used to go sledding on were showing the grass because it had all been blown off of them.

Hannah and her friends played out in the snow a lot too so the girls loved being with them out there. The guys made a small hill in the front yard from some of the snow they shoveled off the walk way. It was perfect for the girls, just their size! They had fun going up and down for a few days.

And having all these older girls to play with helped entertain them a lot!

This was Eric's first real snow storm too so he was quite excited. He rode with the girls a few times on this tiny hill! One time he was getting on the sled and lost his balance swinging his arms out trying not to have the sled go backwards down the hill. Livy was standing next to him and she got completely wiped out down the backside of the little hill by daddy falling off backwards. It was really funny when it happened. I got most of it on video too!

Our first family snowman. Colt was inside so they named the snowman Colt.

They had so much fun in the snow and I'm so glad they got to experience it! Grandpa and Dad put in a lot of time pulling the girls and playing with them out there, thanks guys! And the three older girls as playmates were perfect! We did make it to a bigger hill to do some sledding which they again loved. Those pictures will be up soon!
