WINTER SCHMINTER

On New Year's Day we went to Temple Square to see the lights and bid a fond farewell to Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year. I hope that I'm never happy to see the end of the Christmas season.

Have these statues always been here?

Awwwww, cute.

So, I don't love the snow, mainly because I don't like driving in it (except I got snow tires on my car and it's like 107% less scary) and I don't like being cold. BUT, it is really pretty and if it stays all winter, it somehow makes the long season and the long nights seem less sucky.

Carter is a snow-aholic. He can play in the snow for hours. Last week, the kid came inside after being out with Jeremy for about two hours. His long-sleeve shirt was covered with ice at the cuffs. Anyway, here are some pictures of our snowy adventures.

Parker and Jeremy sledding down our fantastic "bunny hill" in our backyard.

PJ waiting her turn to sled down the hill. She turned out to be quite a good little sledder:)

Carter doing what he does best--flinging himself down hills, aiming for near destruction at the bottom. (He figured out today that a sleeping bag and stairs are almost as fun--and, most certainly, more warm--as a sled and a hill. YAY!!!!!)

Happy Winter! Call if you want to come sledding:)
