inside our snowglobe

OK, so the quality of this video is not great but hopefully you can see that it is snowing.

Christmas WipeOut

Disclaimer: no child was seriously injured. The only fatality - our large sledding tube.

This is Madison sledding down from the top of the hill. Actually it is her last run from the top. After this one J started her half way down the hill. Much better/safer/less scary for both Madison and me.

This is the oldest cousin. She, I think, learned that it was better to go down in pairs after this flip.

This is little man. He loved sledding, even after this. He flew down the hill every time, and wanted to go faster and higher.

And this is Uncle A, first (and last) attempt at sledding this hill. He hit a stick and the tube ripped. Pretty Funny.

And just for fun, and because they are so cute. Here is Austin and Madison sledding together.

Also just for fun, and because she is so cute, (and because I didn't get her crash recorded) here is the middle cousin flying down the hill from the top. She loved it.

our first snow day

we have know all week that today it would snow. really snow. not just the light dusting we got earlier this month. the kids have been so excited. last night they checked outside several times. it was either raining or hailing, no snow. this morning we woke up to this...

Snow...

well just a dusting but for us that are native to the valley, this is snow. And man were we cold. I think it was in the high 20's this morning. Then, I worked in Madison's class this afternoon and drove home while it was snowing (not sticking). It was so cool. I called one of my sisters, I just had to share. It was a first for me.

SNOW

Today it snowed, really snowed, here in the desert. It was so beautiful. I don't have proof (no pictures). But me the kids, my sister, her husband, and their twin girls stood in the parking lot of Peter Piper Pizza with several other families and watched the snow blow around each other. I loved watching the kids reactions. Lots of giggles.

The picture I do have for today is of these cool glasses my sister made for the girls. She bought the little ones scrapbook supplies at Target and while they scrapped she made each girls these super cute glasses for them.
