snow days...

The snow was so much fun. We got about 6 inches of snow! We both loved just looking at it...and I (Averie) LOVED playing in it. Here I am...the first day out!

Daddy & me...having fun in the snow!

Our driveway had ice covering the snow, but where our grass was, the snow was fun to walk in...It couldn't see my feet!

Lovin' this snow...It was so cold that first day...I was so bundled up!

(Since Brady was getting over the flu and pneumonia from this week, Daddy thought it would be best to keep him inside from the cold. So, while Brady napped, we played outside!)

My attempt on making a snow angel...

Then, Daddy was showing me how to really do it on this kind of snow...it was soft snow once you got past the top, thin layer coating...so I had to push my arms hard in the snow.

So, I tried it again. I must not weigh enough. :)

So, we had a snowball fight instead!

We had so much fun!

Playing in the snow...

I picked up a big chunk of snow, so I thought it was perfect to throw at Daddy!

We also went for a little walk. Notice the road is complete ice. Thankfully, none of us slipped on it!

Daddy & me...again!
Sure was a fun afternoon. I laughed a lot with Daddy & Mommy.

On Day 2 of the snow, Brady got to come outside and "meet" the snow for the first time since last winter. It was a much warmer day...the sun was shining brightly, so it was more enjoyable for us! As you can tell from the look on Brady's face, he's not really sure he's ready for this...either that, or he has way too many layers on!

We took a walk around the neighborhood...

We made a few pit stops along the way...first stop, giving Brady a taste of the snow. He didn't care for it. I tried it the day before, and I didn't like it either!

Second stop...getting out of the wagon and showing Brady how to make a snowball. I was already quite the expert since I had been out the day before. Brady wasn't sure what to think...about the snowball or the way it felt to stand in the snow (notice one foot sinking in the snow)!

Daddy & I took Brady for a walk in the snow...

And, finally, he begins to smile...


Daddy & Brady Boy

Mommy & Brady


And, another smile...of course, some of these big smiles are the direct result of Mommy saying, "If you smile, we can go in the wagon again." It worked! :)

As we were heading back to our house, we realized we were a bit too bundled, so Brady got to ride in the wagon with some of our layers!

I am building a pile of snow...

...with my next door neighbor. Daddy & Brady had gone inside, and I sure had fun playing outside in the snow.



What a fun weekend!

I just love all the snow fun! It's cute to see kids in jeans in the snow! Glad to see Brady is feeling better! Love you all!
