Snow

I am so glad it snowed once before we left for Texas. It wasn't very much snow but it was snow.

Jack promptly taught Sadie to eat the snow. Every time we'd go somewhere she'd get distracted and wonder off to find snow. She refused to come inside the house until she found snow to eat.Sadie eating snow.

We used all the snow on Grandma's lawn and this is the biggest snowman we could get. Later Gavan borrowed snow from a neighbors lawn and made another snowman (even smaller) with a friend.

Sledding

This is the way we sled at our house.

My parents have a lawn mower with a plow on it. It has been a favorite toy of Gary's. It makes shoveling snow a breeze and sledding more enjoyable too.

Sadie even had a good time. This was her first time sledding. She sat on Gavan's lap and she stayed without crying. She is usually terrified of the lawn mower.
