Oh Snow

My kids were SO excited to get outfitted for a sledding day. Even Jayson suited up nicely. Can I just say that it is SUPER great that most of the kids can get their gear on by themselves - sure we zip here or help tuck there, but it was horrible a few years ago when each article of clothing had to be applied by a parent.

Anyway, we hoped out of the van at a nearby hill. Jayson could hardly wait to jump into the sled. He took the first ride before my camera ever came out of the bag. I think he liked the sledding part. But he didn't like the SNOW part. He refused to wear a hat or hood and there was NO WAY to get gloves or mittens on that boy. Once he took a tumble and his bare hand met the white fluff, he was finished. Jon ended up in the van with him for the rest of the time.

While my mom, sister, and SIL were off burning their buns off on a power walk at the mall, I was freezing my buns off at the sledding hill. I don't get to see my kids play in the snow everyday. Over the last couple years Jon has taken our kids sledding and I've been home with the baby. It was also Jayson's first sledding day. There are only so many firsts. I was having fun with my camera. It was snowing. I was the mamarazzi standing on the hill with an umbrella and camera. I don't have a super zoom, so it is what it is.
