Sleds and a Snowman

We had some perfect outdoor weather today to play in the snow so we took full advantage of it.  after nap time we got all our gear on (which took way longer than I'd like to admit) and headed to the backyard.  The boys all got new sleds for Christmas which came in handy today.

We have the perfect small slope in our back yard for sledding

Christian fell off a time or two...good thing the snow is soft :)

We made snow balls

And Easton was such a big boy going down the hill by himself

He LOVED it!!

Although he made dad pull him back up the hill a few times....

So dad decided to go down with Easton

Once we exhausted sledding we decided to make a snowman on our deck

Black olives for eyes and mouth and a carrot for a nose!

A hat and a scarf to make him complete.  Meet Frosty.  Yes, Easton named him Frosty.  He didn't like our suggestions of Earl, Bruce, Fred or Ed

And then we topped off the afternoon with some yummy hot chocolate to warm up!

We sure did have a great afternoon in the snow.  Perhaps there will be a repeat tomorrow before the bitterly cold subzero temperatures arrive!
