It's Snowing

We finally got some snow this month! Our first snow arrived about two weeks ago and left about two inches for Braeden to play in.
Braeden was soooo excited about the snow falling. He has been asking to build a snowman almost every day since last winter. Luckily the snow we got was awesome snowman snow. Braeden and Travis had a great time playing in the snow building snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other. Here they are hard at work.
Now for the finished product...
Shortly after Little Snowman was finished the boys had a snowball fight. This is by far my favorite picture of the fight.
Once we got back over to the other house the boys built yet another little snowman.
It didn't take long for the snow to melt from the first "winter storm." This time we finally got a decent amount of snow. Doesn't it look like Braeden is super excited about the snow?
Travis went out and cleared some of the sidewalk to show just how much snow we got.
Since we didn't have anything else to do Travis thought it would be fun to take Braeden out sledding for the first time.
I opted to stay at the bottom of the hill for a little bit and take pictures while Travis and Braeden had a ball sledding together down Wright Bros. Hill.
Here is a picture of Travis chillin' before hiking back to the top of the hill.
Braeden took a little rest on the stump in the middle of the field.
Travis finally snatched the camera away from me and forced me up the hill to sled a little bit. While Braeden and I hiked to the top of the hill Travis snapped this picture that I LOVE.
Once I made it to the top of the hill I did have a good time sledding with Braeden. Can you tell he is on the sled with me?
My little man decided after going down with both Travis and myself that he was ready to go down all by himself. Travis took him about halfway up the hill and sent him on his way. Braeden was not the least bit scared as you can see from this picture.
Here he is once he got to the bottom of the hill.
"I wanna do it again!"
After about an hour and a half of sledding we were all pretty tired and ready to go. We all had an excellent time playing in the snow however I won't be too sad once all the snow is gone.

Way freakin' cute! I like how you made it look like you had a lot of snow. Which you do for Ohio. If B wants some snow he can come out here. The fence in our yard is buried and I got stuck trying to get into my driveway. Tad got stuck trying to get out. Honestly I can't wait for summer. Snow is not that much fun if you aren't boarding or skiing. Tell B Aunt Rachel loves him.

Cool pictures.Remember when we all use to go to that hill and sled? Looks like you all had a great time. I know that Breaden loves to play in the snow, and you can tell by the look on his face he was having a good time.

Love,
Mom
