Walkin in a Winter Wonderland

Today as per Madelyn's request, we went Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland.

And then, although my toes were numb...

I could not disappoint our eager sledders.

With lots of encouragement. The girls took a few trips down our snowy backyard.

While Aaron smashed large chunks of ice over his head! (it's a boy thing)

It was a lovely day!

    You have a hill in your very own backyard? That's like a dream house!!

    Looks fun! We actually have TOO much snow right now to even walk the dogs!

    I assume this walk was followed by some hot cocoa?!

    Looks like life is looking up from the technical difficulties that you blogged about yesterday. Nothing like a bit of fun in the snow to boost your spirits!

    Wanted to let you know that we finally had a chance to follow-up on the tag you sent our way (back in December!) Better late than never, I hope! It is posted today, if you are interested.

    Thank you for thinking of us!

    Stopping in from BSU.

    We had snow here for about a week and a half. Then it rained for 4 solid days and nights and no more snow. That's what ya get for living in the Lower Mainland of BC!

    Looks like you guys had fun!!

    That looks like so much fun! I'm jealous that you have enough snow to go sledding. I live in NJ and we get NO snow!

    I see from your little ticker that your goal is to lose 60 lbs-- my goal is to lose 50 lbs! Maybe we can encourage each other through the way! I have to figure out how to get the Ticker onto my page as well....

    I love the snow too. Just not driving in it.

    The pictures are so sweet.

    Hey, my eight year old daughter would smash ice on her head too. She is a bit of a tomboy. She will not wear dresses!

    Would you believe it was 80 degrees here today?? Not exactly what you would call winter.
