Snow Day

While Will was off of work last month, we finally had a day with no plans and no chain requirements, so we bundled up and headed for the snow. Sophia doesn't remember playing in the snow from years past, so she was really excited.

Ally...not so much. But these days she's happy no matter where she is (as long as Mommy or Daddy are in sight.)

The first order of business: snow angels. Poor Sophia has wanted to make snow angels so badly that she's been practicing on our kitchen floor for months. The sad thing is that there's usually so much Trent hair on the floor that it kinda works!

Next on the list was the snowman. The snow was so hard that it was near impossible to make one from scratch, but luckily Sophia was happy decorating a pre-existing snowman with Mr Potato Head parts.

There was also a pre-existing igloo, which Daddy and Sophia thought was the perfect place to eat their lunch.

And last but not least was the sledding. Sophia did really well climbing up the hill and holding onto the sled.

Despite my objections, Will took her to the top of the hill, and she actually came down asking for a bigger hill!

And Ally LOVED watching her big sister sled right up to her feet.
