fun in the snow!

my brother told me earlier in 2009 that this is an el nino year. well, i believe it! we've had two big snowstorms in a month!! it's been so much fun! the first one hit on christmas eve and we ended up with a white christmas. although we were stuck indoors for 3 days straight, at least we were with family. then we just had another big snow/ice storm hit last thursday. over christmas, i think we ended up with 12" or 14", i can't remember for sure, but it was a ton for us here! and then this last bit of snow, we got, i don't know - 4" or 5", still plenty to play around in. jadeyn wasn't quite sure about the snow. i think she might be a beach girl instead : ) over christmas we didn't take her out in it, mainly because we didn't have anything warm enough for her to wear. but we did get this one windy picture of us out in the christmas blizzard!

this last snow we ventured out in it~ my parents have some hills in their neighborhood park, so on sunday afternoon, we found some "home-made" sleds and played around with us 3, monica and my parents. jadeyn stayed warm, no doubt. there was no cold air getting inside this outfit!
