We have been sitting here today waiting for the snow to start falling and I decided to put these pics on here from our Christmas snow. Multiply the above picture by four and you'll see why it takes me 30-40 minutes to get everyone ready to go outside to play in the snow.
The boys got their own snow shovels for Christmas and boy, did Joseph get right to work. He was puffing and grunting away and he really kept at it.
Even when he fell on the ice he did not lose his grip on his precious shovel.
Dominic liked his shovel too, but was not as gung-ho as Joseph. It was a strange snowscape, to be sure. Some places were swept almost bare and then in places there were large drifts.
It was a little difficult to sled, as the snow had been largely blown off the hill. The kids enjoyed it anyway. Although Joseph would only get on the sled if Mommy held his shovel for him.
"Mommy, this snow is really cold!"
After a while, the twins and I went inside and the hardier souls stayed out longer. Catherine and Joseph decided they wanted to be buried in a snowdrift, so Daddy obliged.
Is she sleeping?
Joseph could not stay under for very long. And there is his shovel, not far away!

Those pictures of your kids in the snow drift are too funny! That look so cold! I can't believe you could talk them in to that. You really owe them a hot beach with warm sand to buried in now.
Ooh, that sounds good to me!
