30 December 2007

It started snowing here Christmas night and we woke up on December 26 to a dusting of snow. The kids couldn't wait to get outside and play in it. They all ate far more snow than can possibly be healthy.


Saturday we drove up into the mountains to find some real snow for sledding. Abe hasn't been sledding since he was 10 months old. He chortled with delight as he slid, spun and crashed down the hillside. Sophie and Abe were fearless heading down the sled runs.


Gibson had the same content expression during the entire field trip. He took a turn down the hill once with Brandan and once with Becky and got pulled around a little in the sled. The photo hints a little at the beautiful setting. We were in a small bowl surrounded on three sides with tall snow-covered trees.


Saturday was also Helen's third birthday. In the photo, she's blowing out her candles by saying "Fffffffffff." Helen enjoyed her birthday very much and beamed whenever we sang Happy Birthday to her.
