Within 1 1/2 hours the party was over and we were left with a lot of food. Not wanting major leftovers we called up all our neighbors that were within walking distance (because the snow had already made the roads extremely slippery) and had them over for a party to help eat all the food. It was great made food for one party and used it for two!
Enjoying the snow fall while daddy pulled them down the road.

We headed to our nearby park to sled, both Natalya and Raquel had lots of fun. We even brought the dogs in the back of the truck to come join in the winter fun. They had lots of fun running through the snow at the park.
Getting ready to go to the park with the dogs.
Sledding with daddy!
Sitting and enjoying watching the sledding, we only have one sled.
She did sled a couple of times and enjoyed it.
Next of course we had to make snowmen! We started out making one snowman, we rolled the bottom and then the middle. But when Mike and I tried to put the middle on the base it was too heavy. We decided to make it into another snowman, a mommy snowman to go along with the daddy snowman. After starting two snowmen Raquel wanted to make herself into a snowman and then we couldn't leave Natalya out, so we ended up making four snowman to represent our family. It has been fun having so much snow to play in for the past week!

Hey!
ReplyDeleteWe rushed to call you on Sunday after seeing your blog pictures that I didn't even get a chance to comment or read all of your post. Your pictures are amazing! Your house and little family look like they're part of a Winter Wonderland magazine shoot. So beautiful! You'll have to tell me how you made your Cafe Rio meat. I have not had very good 'cooking success' this holiday season. :) I didn't even read the post about poor Raquel's hair. haha. What a little stinker. I can't even imagine what you were thinking when you walked in. Good thing she's so pretty so the hair will never make a difference. :) The haircut is actually cute. I love her little smile and new haircut watching Michael at her class. Love you guys!
