Sledding...finally!

Last winter was fairly mild, and I remember only one snow of just a couple inches.  It was rather disappointing, especially since Daniel had received a sled for Christmas and never really got to try it out.  This winter seemed to be a repeat.  Mild temperatures and no snow!  That is until Thursday when we received a whopping 13 inches.  Daniel has enjoyed it immensely, playing outdoors several times each day.  This afternoon we took him for his first true sledding experience.  Daniel loved it...all except trudging back up the hill after sledding all the way down!  It was quite a work out for all of us.  

The perfect ending to the afternoon was when we drug our happily-exhausted selves to my parent's house to pick up Logan, and my mom had made the most delicious gingerbread in the whole world.  It was fresh out of the oven, and the warm gingerbread with butter melting on the top made the perfect after-sledding snack.  Thanks, Mom! 






This last photo shows Annie (right) our first dog who now lives with my parents and Daniel's Christmas dog, Moose (left).  Both of them love the snow!

WONDERFUL photos. Love them, and you. Big thank you to Aunt Pam for sending me the Runyon family gingerbread recipe! A blessing that it can be made without the egg and still be good.
