Winter Wonder Land!

Tuesday (Oct. 28) night, we got a few inches of snow and although the forecast was calling for up to 8 more inches of snow, I was a little surprised that they called a Snow Day. Well, needless to say they were right to do so! It snowed straight through 'till the middle of Thursday night, totaling about 30 inches!!! The first two days were fun and blizzardy, but Friday was my FAVORITE! It was about 50 degrees outside, but we still had tons of snow to play in and sled on -I love Denver snow storms! Friday we went sledding and lasted (even Peyton and Kennedi) for a little over an hour. Kennedi said it was fun, but when asked if she wanted to go down the hill again, she promptly replied, "No." We did get her to go down about 7 times! We also made snow forts, snow ball fights, and the kids turned the back terrace into a sledding hill. The night ended festively with pumpkin carving and a scary movie "Coraline." to prepare for Halloween the next day!



The 1st night of snow, we all had fun going out and shoveling snow.

Kennedi even joined in on the fun, using a dust pan as her snow shovel.



By the second day of constant snow, Dallin collapsed from so much shoveling=)



Thursday, Benson even got to stay home from work to play in the snow with us! Peyton enjoyed some behind the 4-wheeler sledding.


We had to carve mini pumpkins this year because due to the snow storm, we didn't buy pumpkins 'till Halloween eve. But, like every year, the kids can't make it through carving without make "sick" faces at the pumpkin guts.

I hope you enjoyed a good long soak in the hot tub along with all that snow, it'd be a pity to waste it!
James loves the Halloween card you guys sent. The first day he carried it around for 2 hours and just kept opening it and shutting it. He dances to it now, and it is his favorite 'book' and I have to 'read' it to him before bedtime. Thanks!
