WE HAVE SNOW!!

It finally snowed!! The girls were thrilled! A new highlight is now taking turns on the snowplow with daddy and helping to shovel the walks! What great little helpers we have! (I will take it for now because I am sure this new found willingness to help will not last long.) And after the work was done - the girls could not grab their new sleds from Santa fast enough!! They went outside and we didn't see them for hours. They raced down the hills around our house all afternoon. This is what we have been waiting for this winter. And with the new snowfall we also went skiing (and finally put our passes to use). Jason took the girls back in November, but I had not been yet this season. We spent the day at Solitude yesterday and it was great! The weather was warm and beautiful and Mia and Lily skied hard. They are getting to be quite good skiers so it is fun to watch them go down the hills. Mia is brave and wants to keep going to harder runs. Lily is confident on the lower runs and prefers to stay there. :)




We love the snow!! Look at those bright smiles!!

My sweet hubby that has so nicely put away his snowboard and put back on skis so he can hang with his family and help teach the girls on the slopes. The true test will be to see what he does when it is a great powder day....
