Winter Fun

It has sure been a lot of fun lately.
The boys got to see Santa two nights in a row last weekend. Friday night we had are Ward Christmas Party & then on Saturday night we went to the Light Parade & then to Scott's work party where Santa came again. Jake has been continually asking Santa for a Sleigh, today we asked Jake what he was going to do with it & he said get a horse or reindeer to pull it for him. It's sure good to know that my kids is down to earth and doesn't have to high of expectations. Jake has really loved getting to see Santa this is the first year that he has enjoyed him so that has been fun. Matt on the other hand thinks that Santa is pretty scary! And doesn't want much to do with him.
Well we finally got our 1st snow here in Flagstaff. Thank goodness we have been so dry, we are so greatful for all of the moisture. I think between my measurements and all the snow in between we probably had close to 18" at our house. It has been lot's of fun. On Tuesday we took the boys out to play they both had lot's of fun. Matt did get a little frustrated that it was so hard to walk in (can't imagine why the snow was up to his waist & he was layered in 4-5" of clothing). They made snow angels and ate lot's of snow & Jake even launched a few snowballs (at my car) of course. It was pretty funny we have some of the wire reindeer out front and I had to uncover them they were completely covered. Hopefully this is just the beginning. I would take several more storms like this. I love the snow and am so glad that I live in AZ so that it warms back up within a few days, I'm not sure I would love it so much if it stayed for 5 months straight.
So I tried to put a slide show together of all the fun lately hope it works ok it should be right below this entry.

Beautiful! Wow! Snow is so fun...when you want to play in it that is! Driving in it, I hate, but if I remember right it didn't bother you driving to school in the snow!
