Snow!

We had two snowstorms recently and Ethan loved playing out in the snow.

On January 8th Ethan spent 1.5 hours outside playing while Ryan cleared the driveway.  The snow was up to his knees but he still managed to get around!

Here  is the backyard, I love looking at the snow covered trees right after a snowfall.

Look at those rosy cheeks! He did not want to come inside.

He even helped Daddy shovel the driveway.

He had to try the snow, which surprised me because he usually doesn't like to eat cold things.

On January 12 we had another snowstorm.  Ryan had two snow days and on the 13th he finally had a chance to take Ethan out.

He was dying to take Ethan sledding and tried it in the front yard.

Unfortunately Ryan was a little too heavy for the snow and they just sunk.

The next run was better but Ethan wasn't too excited about it and wanted to explore the yard instead.

Here is our garden, you can just barely see the fence which is 28 inches tall

Ethan dragged Ryan all over the yard, Ryan had to carry him, this snow was too tall for him to walk in.

The snow bank at the top of the driveway was taller than Ethan! He snuck back outside later that day when we forgot to lock the back door in just his socks.  He never tries to put his shoes on before going outside but since then he has been trying to put on his snow boots so we will take him back out.  I'm sure it was really cold on the deck in just socks!
