some firsts, some sledding, and a snowbear

At our house we make snow bears, not snowmen because of this book. (It also is easier when we don't have any carrots in the house.) Daddy helped the kids make the first snowbear of the season the other day, Julia took her first solo trip down a little hill, and Sam made his first ever snow angel. He just fell right over backwards and started moving his arms and legs. It was priceless. It is very handy with little kids to be able to go sledding right out our front door.
It's also very fun!
