We have been having a great time playing in the snow this year.  Here are some of the shots from our day out  playing on Saturday.  The kids are on the mound that Brit has been piling up from the driveway.  He put stairs up both sides and two slides down the other, they are all covered over again with more snow.  It is just making the kids more excited to get back out there and play!  It's been difficult to convince them that we aren't going out today because it is Sunday, they can't wait until tomorrow.

 Where's Waldo? (actually Miko)

 If you'll notice the car behind him, for perspective of how deep the "mountain" is.  The kids are so excited as we have been driving around at how many "mountains" there are :)

 The construction of our second snowman of the season, this one is over 6 feet tall!

 Like Father like daughter, they both decided that they were too warm to wear their coats to play in the snow. 

 throwing and catching some snowballs :)

and who can forget about a good "swim" in the snow
