Snowy Days

I'm truly a Idaho girl at heart. The weather in Tennessee has always been challenging for me to appreciate. Hot humid summers, cold snowless winters, just not my cup of tea. For the first time since I have lived here, we had a beautiful snowfall at Christmas. Since then we have had a few pretty good storms. I still shake my head that school gets canceled for so little of snow, but I have been able to enjoy the cold a little bit more with my kiddos this year. I'm thinking of investing in snow clothes for next winter and possibly a sled. Just thinking.

Here are some pictures of our adventures. I'm sad to report that our sledding venture was not photographed at all. I'm a terrible mother. We went sledding with two of our neighbors to the perfect spot. Not too long, not too short. I admit to being a little nervous for Wes and even more nervous for Izzy since she tends to be a bit of a wimp. But my worries were in vain. They absolutely loved it and couldn't get enough. By the end, Wesley insisted on walking up the hill himself and pulling the sled behind him. Someday I'm taking my kids to the sand dunes!

We built this snowman the day after it snowed. When the snow was already melting. It lasted about half the day in the sun. He was cute while he was here.






Izzy has been dying to make a snow angel. It's all she ever talks about when it snows. So happy we finally got around to it.
