sledding

It has snowed a lot more this year than it did last year. Not great for me, but perfect for the kids. Luckily we live one minute from the perfect little sledding hill. Most afternoons, Alex comes in, drops his backpack and heads outside to spend the rest of the day sledding with the neighborhood kids.

One Saturday, after a good snowstorm, we invited a couple of families from church up to go sledding. The dads had fun taking the kids and the moms hung out with the babies and made dinner.

Here's everyone getting suited up to go

This was Ruby's first sledding experience here

Alex, like Pete, is built for the cold

Ruby surprised us by being fearless

I thought Ruby would be crying after this trick, but she's tougher than I give her credit for

Ruby and Henry...watch out!
