Sledding in a Snow Storm


Today has been a really great family day.
We were initially intending to take the kids skiing, but the favored family owned/operated ski place near our house hasn't opened yet and they were grooming the mountain today, so instead we went sledding.
What a great choice that was.
We braved thick snowflakes falling down all around us and had a marvelous time.
Who would have known that the hills next to Occom Pond would be so much fun?!
New plan is to ski on Monday and/or Tuesday and work on collecting more equipment in the meantime.
Love the beautiful blanket of snow all around us in NH.
Love a big mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows after a cold winter day outdoors.
Love this cute little family of mine.
XOXO,
Tiff


 *this kind of reminds of little Ralphie in "A Christmas Story"
 My official "hubby of the year" for carrying Eli and the sled up the hill over and over again


 Jesse has this really cool "Go Pro" camera that can be strapped onto almost anything.  He shot some pretty awesome videos today of the kids going down the hill on their sleds
Another favorite picture of Eli.  I love love love that you can only see his eyes due to the "Ninja Ski mask"

Chocolate Chip Cookies are an essential treat after a cold day in the Snow.....that and hot chocolate upon returning home
 I have way too many pictures of Miss M, because she eventually tired of sledding and spent most of her time hanging out with me {I went down on the blue saucer and caught a big jump with E, and landed hard on my tailbone}.  She really enjoyed gathering balls of snow and eating them

Right before we left, we pulled out one pair of skis and Maddie went down the smaller hill a few times. Now we can't wait until lessons start next week.

Bring it on ski season, we are ready!
