Let it Snow

Here we are inside, all bundled up and ready to go out.We get outside and I get this great idea to take a picture of the kids in the snow covered tree. Boys like climbing trees right? Not my boys. The only one happy to be in the tree was Lexie.
See, Collin is really happy to be there. (As I am typing this post, he saw the picture and said, "Remember when you put me in the tree. I didn't like it, that's why I was crying.")
Garrett was trying to climb back down as soon as I put him up. At least he stopped to smile for the camera instead of yelling at me.
Once safe on the ground, they had some fun. Garrett showed Lexie how to throw snow balls. He made the balls for her and then let her throw them at him. Such a nice big brother.


Lexie tried to catch the falling snow.
Collin has some snow (I think it is too puny to even call a snow ball) and is aiming at his Aunt Hillary.
Garrett loves to make snow angels.

  1. Why don't kids climb trees anymore? I think they're getting a little soft. You should have mentioned that Indiana Jones climbs trees, lots of dangerous trees. Perhaps its best that they are a bit more causious these days.

  2. I usually know how to spell cautious, just not today.

  3. Collin got me a few times with the itty bitty snow balls. Garrett is the one that really knows how to make a good snowball, now we just have to teach him how to make them fast. And I tried getting the boys up in the tree when we were playing in the leaves but they were resistant, so I got in the tree! :)

  4. What a good Mom to take the kids out playing in the snow and then remember to take pictures too! They're so cute, Collin is hilarious! Go Lexy! I'm impressed she did the tree!
