Snow and Sledding

When we bought our tickets to go to Arizona for Christmas I didn't really think we would need all of our snow gear. Good thing we brought it anyway! We've been staying at a cabin up in Flagstaff and are surrounded by several feet of snow. It's been perfect for the kids and they've had a blast playing in it. Here are some fun pics from our sledding excursion the other day.

Brinley didn't actually sled down any hills but she looked so stinking cute all bundled up.


If you look to the right of me you can see tiny people down on the pond that our sledding hill led to. It was so fun because once you hit the ice you would just slide and slide.

Top left: Aunt CJ and cousin Landon piggy back sledding. Top right: Snow bunny Brinley with Grandma and Grandpa Rigg. Bottom left: Teya telling her cousin Landon that eating snow is "dis-stusting!" Bottom right: Teya is the king of the snow hill!

Teya still struggles when it comes to putting on her warm gear (as in weeping and wailing when we try to put it on her) but once she's in it she loves being out in the snow. She made snow angels, threw snowballs at daddy, and loved sledding down the big hill.

Here's a cute video of Taber pulling us to the hill and then going down with Teya. You can see how pretty the scenery is here and it's cute to hear Teya scream when she gets going on the hill.

I love this post! That looks SO fun. We wanted to go sledding today and somehow it got put on the back burner again. But that looks like such a blast, what a perfect spot with the pond at the bottom. You guys are so fun.

I want to go sledding now!
We're going to UT at end of Feb., and I'm REALLY hoping that there is at least enough snow around to take Anna sledding.
Fun video!

Cute, Cute and Cute!! Yes I have to agree the scream Teya let out was pretty hilarious!! And Brinley looks so adorable all snug-as-a-bug! Yeah we did some sledding this past week, Dax loved it but Cameron was a little sad in his snow clothes--The whole "I can't put my arms down" is a pretty acurate description :)

That looked like a blast! The whole Christmas looked like a success!

Ooh that looks so fun. It was 75 degrees in the part of AZ we were at. The girls look so cute all bundled up. Were you scared the ice would break at the pond or was it pretty thick?
