brrrrr...... and fun in the snow!

Oh my gosh has it been cold!!!!! The highs during the day have been in the teens! While we have about a foot or so of snow on the ground - it keeps snowing a little more each day! So, it is guaranteed to be a white Christmas! The really cold weather has limited the kiddos time outside - as frostbite is a huge concern! Last thing I need is another ER visit to do something un-necessary - like amputate a finger or something!!
The kids were able to play in the snow a bit and the boys worked on their sledding hill. With the weather so cold, all the snow is really light and fluffy - which is great for driving - but not as great for sledding! They don't care - they are having fun anyways! Here are a few weekend pictures!

Big Al helps Miss O walk up the hill... she only went down a couple of times - she was pretty scared going down!

Alex pulls Papa and Miss O back down the hill when they got stuck!

"Owa coood - need hod coco!" She told Papa that she was done and ready to go inside!
Little J takes a break long enough to let Phebe give him a slimy, stinky dog kiss!

Someone really likes to be outside - regardless how cold it can be!!
Little J patiently holds a filled to the brim bird feeder - as the poor little birds have nothing!

Papa finishes installing a new (safer and higher) bracket to hang the bird feeder off of - so that a certain black Lab will leave it alone!!

I hope that everyone is enjoying THEIR winter weekend!
