Snowpocalypse 2011

Snow finally came!  After our early Thanksgiving snowstorm, the kids have been sorely disappointed in old man winter.  Finally, snow arrived...  5 inches to be exact.  Just enough to do some sledding, build a snowman, and go on a nice winter hike on our neighborhood trail.  I took the day off and played in the snow all day with the kids, Steph, and Smokey.  Once again, Jackson and Kenzie both declared it the funnest day ever.  This is becoming a frequent phrase, so I guess we are doing something right:)

Jackson quote: "What are we going to do about THIS?!?"

Ready for a big day!

Steph and I with Snowy the Frostman.  We agreed to disagree on his name with the kids.  Jackson was the photographer here.  Nice work buddy!

The unimpressed expression notwithstanding, Smokey had a great time playing in the snow. 

Lovely snow hike on the neighborhood trail
