Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

We were blessed with 3 snow days off from school on Monday, January 10 thru Wednesday, January 12th! It was such a nice treat to get to have unexpected family time! Carter thoroughly enjoys snow- we're afraid he is going to think that is snows around here all the time! As soon as he looks outside and sees the snow, he's ready to go play. We ate breakfast, got bundled up, and headed outside to play. Growing up, Courtney's parents always said "Brrrrr Rabbit!" when it was cold outside and that's something that Courtney now tells Carter. Instead of "Brrrrr Rabbit!", Carter decided to say "Cold Rabbit!" or "Warm Rabbit!" depending on the weather. It's hilarious! At least he understands the concept of "brrrrr"!

We had a quick wardrobe change with his gloves- he wanted to be able to grab at the snow and he couldn't with the thick, waterproof gloves.

He thinks he always needs to sweep the snow away!

Making snowballs with his Daddy!

Ready to go sledding down the first small hill! WHEEEE!

Going to the big hill for a sledding adventure!

His cheeks were getting chapped-looking so we wrapped a big scarf around him which he didn't seem to mind!

Carter had to get his own sled to pull along just like his Daddy!

We remembered that Carter had an Elmo ski mask from MawMaw so we tried it out.

Carter loved to pass snowballs back and forth! What a wonderful, snowy day!
