Another Cold, Snowy, FUN Winter

Everyone keeps telling us that we are having unusual winters, but we're not so sure this is unusual. In fact super cold, snowy winters are all we have known since moving to KC. Ben is not the biggest fan of the winters here, but the kids and I like them...really Hampton and I enjoy them. Lucy and Reid get pretty cold. We have had several light snows (3-5 inches) and a few pretty intense snows (10+ inches). Between the snow falls are also some pretty cold days. Needless to say we have spent many days indoors and many days w/o leaving the house. Here are some pics of our fun in the snow.

The pics above are from our first dusting one Sunday morning. We had to bundle up before church. It was our first chance to wear the snowsuits Sweetie and Pops got L and R for Christmas. Too bad all I had for their feet were rain boots.
These are from our first big snow. We played in our driveway w/ neighbors for a couple of hours. The littles ended up eating animal crackers in the garage much more than they played.

Hampton is so proud of his "super fast" sled...thanks Kate!
Katie and Reid...Lucy wanted nothing to do w/ it.

Our driveway is not very steep, so they had to get a running start and dive.
