let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

we have had another snow storm and over in our neck of the woods, it is welcome! the kids get so excited to go outside as soon as the first snowflake makes it way down.
When we bought this home, we never would have imagined the pure enjoyment the little hill in the backyard would bring the kids and us. In the summer the kids loved running up and down and tumbling down. Now... it's all about sledding, rolling, sliding down. The size of the hill is perfect for the kids, and still fun enough for the grown ups (made more interesting by trying to dodge the trees!).

Today was made even more fun when Tobin stayed out a little longer to build the kid's first snow fortress! so much fun!

and the destruction of the 1st fortress =)

stay tuned... more to come on Gabi tomorrow =)
