Playing in the snow

Is it too warm outside to post some old photos of playing in the snow?  The mild winter meant that we didn't get too many days to pull on snow pants and pull out the sled.  But there were a few.  William got to try out the sled for the first time, and he loved it!  Unlike Eliana, who cried the first time we tried to take her in the sled.  He wanted to be pulled all over the yard in the sled - he would just lay back and munch on some snow while I took him up and down and around the yard.  Lazy kid!  He also liked playing soccer in the snow.  All bundled up in his snow pants and boots, he had a really hard time walking (maybe that's why he just wanted to be pulled around).  Whenever he would fall down, which was often, he would just lay there in the snow until I picked him up and put him back on his feet. 

Getting ready

Eliana really wanted to build a snowman but the snow was too powdery.  Will fell down chasing his soccer ball, but I'm too busy taking pictures to help him up.

Cuties!  Until recently, Eliana has been praying for more snow even though it has been 40+ degrees outside (actually today it was 64!).  She loves winter!  Unfortunately for her, I think too many other people around here have been praying for warm weather.
