Interrupting my Christmas catch-up to post about current events.
On Saturday, we took the kids sledding. There is a hill across the street from our house that is good for sledding. It is technically a park (really it only has the hill, 2 benches, a parking lot, and a porta-potty)- but it was good for sledding :)
We were a little worried as we walked over because a bunch of the snow had melted and we were hoping we didn't have some very disappointed kids. Oliver ran to the other side of the hill and said there was snow! The kids loved it! We were the only ones there, which was nice with the kids' ages. Oliver is hoping we get to go again this weekend- we are supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow tonight so maybe we will!

| Julia hung out in her sled most of the time. As you can see, the side of the hill we walked up was pretty snow-less. |
 |
| This was the hill we went sledding down (and then walked back up) It was a fast hill- the snow had been packed down by sledders all day. |

| A happy boy |
 |
| He had fallen off his sled on the way down. Luckily, he laughed about it each time it happened. |
 |
| Parker enjoying the snow. He really did have a lot of fun even though it looks questionable in this picture. |
 |
| Eric took Julia down on a big sled one time- she loved it! He said she laughed the whole way down. |

| Attempting to walk in all of her snow stuff |

| Another slip off of the sled |

| When walking back home, Parker found all of the mud puddles. I figured he was already muddy, snowy, and wet so I even encouraged him to play in the puddles. |
