snow days~

The children were as excited as kids on Christmas morning when they awoke to the snow yesterday morning...

it was time to go sled-riding!

And--- in 'Elizabeth-style', she was quite proud to dump her PapPap right off her sled :)

My little snow angels didn't last very long in the cold... the first time... ...until the second-time around when they found friends with REAL hills :)

and even dogs!

and LOTS of fresh cookies and hot cocoa!

Thanks Doug and Teddy!!

Note from Mom:

Dear Mr. Winter,

You've had your fun, the children had their fun, and it will be the first white Christmas in quite awhile--- now, I don't mean to offend you, but you may kindly go away until next December :)

Sincerely,

a tropical sun-worshipper :)
