Snow Outing

As my official final posting of 2010 (sigh of relief ... can't wait to print the whole thing off), I get to blog about the little snow outing we squeezed in the Monday after Christmas. Seeing as last year there was almost no snow to be found, this outing was definitely long overdue! For some reason we did have some difficulty locating a good spot, but ultimately found somewhere off the beaten path and ended up having a great day! It was a fun way to enjoy the beautiful winter weather with our family. Did I mention this is my last post of 2010???:)

I'm not sure what's up with the face, but here's our cute little Mae in her new Christmas jacket.

Brooks and his 2nd mom (love ya, Heidi), coming down the bumpy path. Mae and James examining the snow with Uncle Nick. Nice snowman, Mae, Brooks, & Aunt Melanie! ... Nick and Melanie are the celebrities when they come into town.Kevin in the process of putting his back out:).

Brooks waiting for his hot chocolate to cool ... Grandpa had quite the little setup.

Maybe this will speed the process up a bit.

Kevin and Mae racing down the trail.

Wow, this whole sledding business is sure exhausting.

Silly pics.

Here's the whole gang ... well, minus Joseph who was toastily sleeping in the car, Melanie & Nick who were probably smooching somewhere, and the photographer (Miss Heidi).
