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.
Carter and Jacob on their way to the barn for a wintry picnic.


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:)
