Winter has come!

Saturday morning this is what we woke to:

The trees were absolutely beautiful covered in the fresh snow. Once the boyos were up, they wasted no time layering on the outdoor gear.  Should have gotten some pictures of that!  The excitement for them really begins when a tractor shows up in the parking lot between our house and the church with the plow attachment on the front end.  They know that means big snow piles for climbing up and sliding down.

(Imagine picture of said snow pile.  The loading of pictures is s-o-o-o s-l-o-w today I just don't have any more patience to wait!)


 One of these snowpiles had such wonderful "slides" down it, it earned a name.  The Plop Drop!  Isn't that great?  Doesn't that sound like a perfect snow slide?  The Plop Drop.  You plop down on your belly or your backside and ride the drop down to the bottom.  Brings back some wonderful  memories of snow filled days.
