A Winter Wonderland!

On the weekend of Charlie's birthday celebration, we got hit with a HUGE snow storm! We had another storm the Wednesday before, so we must have had at least 3 feet of snow by the time Sunday came. We knew we had to get out and enjoy the snow while we could. First things first... we cleaned off the driveway and the cars. Then we all bundled up and headed out for some good winter snow activities! As I have mentioned before, Charlie loves to shovel, so there was a lot of that going on. Pete plowed a path back to our compost pile, and then he and his dad worked on clearing off the wood pile and re-stacking wood. Pete's dad made a cool tunnel through the snow for Charlie to crawl through, but he was a bit hesitant at first. Once he finally went through, he loved it! We went sledding and skiing too! Charlie is starting to get good on skis, so we are trying to get him to practice a bit more in the driveway before we head to the slopes. I have a funny feeling this little guy is going to be bombing down the ski hills with us chasing after him next year! Overall it was a great snow day outside, and Charlie loved every minute of it! After all the fun we went in and had some yummy hot cocoa to warm us up!
