We Decided To Go To The Snow

It's looking like we are not going to see a snow flutter at home this year, especially since the places that should have snow don't really have it either. Luckily, we found some snow and rang in the New Year in the cold. We were planning to snow shoe on New Years Eve but it was 1 degree. Not what we are used to, so we stayed inside for the night. 

 The kids made hats and decorations for 2015

 we drove around and saw a fun Christmas light display where we were staying

 and then we danced and watched the New Years Eve countdown shows. This guy was a dancing machine.

 Then they got out the crackers, their favorite part of New Year's.  A party hat, a toy and a joke in each pull. Can it get any better than that? 

 The next morning we woke up early and got on the snowshoes

 and did some hiking and of course some sledding

 Which these two daredevils love the best.

 They do good with the snow shoes for awhile but the little man decides to take them off and RUN and ROLL.

 Their nice daddy pulled them in a sled on trails

 

 It was a great way to ring in 2015. We are all getting a little wimpy in the cold after almost 5 years in a milder climate. The kids weren't used to gearing up to go outside since at home they rarely need a jacket most days. It was fun to get a taste of the snow for a bit. 

Happy New Year! I wish you all a wonderful year! 

I can't wait to talk to you all, have adventures with you all and keep in touch with you all in the coming year.
