Sledding

We've had quite a bit of snow since we moved up here. Since Tommy, Grace and I haven't been around a lot of snow living in Texas, Tom suggested we go sledding in our backyard.

We started while Grace was napping (she wasn't feeling that great - so she had a long nap). We didn't know how Tommy would do with the snow - I mean the little stinker is leary of sand. He really surprised us though. The got geared up (snow pants, snow boots, big puffy jacket, etc.) and marched right out to the snow. He even had a blast with the sledding. Any time Tom or I would go up the hill - he would be right there to push us down and then follow behind. It was so cute.

Look at all that snow

A little unsure at first...

This is pretty cool

I took a turn...

By the time Grace was up and dressed to go outside, it was getting dark. We tried to get her out in the snow, but she was the one to be scared of it. I did put her in my sled once so she could at least go down once, but she cried the whole way down. She decided she wanted to stay under the patio in the dry spots and watch us. She never once ventured out to the snow.

It was a TON of fun and we've done in a few times since the first outing (the Saturday after Christmas).
