Winter fun!

We decided to go sledding at last, since everybody was out of colds, coughs, and with fresh snow on the ground. So, here came the layering.. Benjamin was the funniest, before I put his coat, we took pictures of how huge the pants looked on him. The outfit is 18m and although he is 17 months old he is so thing that was looking lost in it. Samuel was the same way. Since he was the first one ready, he decided to sweep the floor. What a helper.. right? We went to a hill across the street, which was great for sledding. At first Jay explained to Samuel how to do it.. Samuel very independently said he wanted to go and do it by himself. He had a lot of anticipation since he's been asking to do this ever since it first snowed last year.. He didn't even made it a third of the way when he let got of the sled. He kept trying though.. Later he would continue the way down rolling.. he enjoyed that more.. Jay decided to put Benjamin in a man hole cover near by, to make sure little explorer would roll of the hill; since we were busy taking pictures and showing older brother how to do it.. plus watching him and laughing..

Poor Benjamin just kept staring at us with this sad look, without complaining though. What a cutie..

Although the kids tried walking, running and playing in general, it was just hard with the suits and layers to allow them.. I loved to see Benjamin's expression.. priceless.

We took some of grandma and grandpa's sled sheets and uncle Tyler's too. However, with Samuel, Jay couldn't control his actions, therefore, we now know what to get uncle Tyler for next Christmas when he will be back from his mission in Germany.. hehe there is even a video from when it happened..

The actual original idea to go that day was our neighbor's who has a 2-year-old-son, whom we used to hang out with and his grandma last summer. Yes, dear Jenny who passed away from cancer a month and half ago. Kaleb is so photogenic.. I didn't even asked him to look at the camera... he sure had fun too.

Jay also took little Benjamin few times, he enjoyed it at first, especially when they turned going down and daddy just layed there when they stopped. Little Benjamin still sitting in his lap just looking around.

The last time they went together, Samuel wanted a snowball fight, and seeing daddy's hands busy decided to attack as they were sliding down. Then he joined them rolling down. Once at the bottom of the hill Benjamin just kept asking for me. He was done.

We also went during Benjamin's nap time... so he was pretty serious most of the time, you can tell how tired he was. However, never got fussy.

I love this picture because it showed the coldest part in all of us.. our noses.

Here some family pictures..

We had a lot of fun, and just counting the days to do it again..
