snow day(s) 2010

growing up, i can remember on a few occasions - not many, but a few - snow days. where there was enough of it that everyone scrambled to wal-mart at the same time for bread and milk, the buses refused to run, and i would put on 3 layers of clothes just to get out in it!

i cannot believe the amount of snow we got this winter & i am so - so - sooooo glad that we got to enjoy it with ava!!

here is matt pulling ava on the sled.

if you can't tell by the look on her face - she loved it!

throwing snowballs.

snow day - 2010

tutu with the snowman that pawpaw built for her!

haha - she's not caught in the cross-fire here - she was throwing snowballs at mimi, too!

family pic with the snowmen that daddy & pawpaw made

(notice ava is armed in this pic - ha)

we enjoyed the day at D.Might's parents house with lots and lots of hot chocolate and chili!!

i took a spin on the sled, as well but of course no one got a pic of me!

it's better left to the imagination, i'm sure - me, a piece of plywood, and my dear FIL going as fast as he could on the rhino - haha!

after we left mimi & pawpaw's house, we headed a short ways over to poppop and gigi's!

poppop took us sledding in the field!

it looks like it was dark in this picture, but i assure you it was not too dark to sled in :)

poppop & ava with her purple sled!

even ashes got in on the festivities!!

we love ashes!

we finally went in and warmed up with some chicken pot pie biscuits and more homemade hot chocolate!

ava enjoyed horsey rides, as well :)

as for the next round of snow - we stayed at our house!

ava and dad getting a measurement - it says around 7 inches, but i know we got closer to 10!

holding onto her daddy for dear life!

he's laughing because she was clawing her way back down after being on his shoulders, ha!

that girl does not do heights.

on to snowman building!

requirement : must have pink shovel, rake, and bucket

{pause for an artistic photo op}

{make that two}

yay!

the ~~snowman~~, errr ~~snowperson~~, errr snowROCKETSHIP?! is finished!

and in case you didn't get the full effect at how tall it was...

it was so sweet watching the two of them play in the snow - this girl LOVES her daddy & from what i could tell, i think he's pretty fond of her, too ;)
