snow!

 We didn't have much snow last winter, so when we got a good snow in November, the kids were all over it!  They built a snow cave in the back yard -- that's Ryan peeking out in the above picture, and him sitting in it below. 

 That's Jacob rolling snowballs to get all the snow into place for the snow cave. (pictures are a bit out of order) The kids also did some sledding at the school. Jared & Ryan spent quite awhile shoveling driveways at the twin homes as well.  All that sledding and shoveling can wear a kid out!

 These next pictures are from today.  We had a pretty big storm just after Christmas and the kids headed to the sledding hill at the school.  Jacob is trying out his new snowboard.

 Oops!  Crash!

 Ryan and Matthew on the sled.

 Mark gets in on the sledding action -- I love how Matthew's eyes are closed as he takes this thrill ride!
