outside for hours
a cold wind, they don’t even notice
non stop smiles
will their faces hurt from the chilly air or all the grinning?
lost the sled
my heart warms with pride as I watch them together, a perfect threesome
off to their other “sled run”
they begged me to come, but I had to get back inside to the littles
one last look back
this is what a I love about my life
I get to be a recorder of memories
Good to be Home 
Looks so fun! :)Love the post below too! Great thoughts!
What a great day! Looks like they had a lot of fun together. Great pictures!!
What joy!
What Fun! It’s great to grow up with best friends.
Oh, such fun and joy! And just outside…..what a blessing
It really is so wonderful that your kids have so much room to roam. I also grew up in the country and we would go far and wide. My mom never worried much about us. My girls grew up in the city, and there were always rules about crossing streets and not talking to strangers and all that. They rarely went sledding, and the rode their bikes on sidewalks instead of hiking in the woods. I love seeing the pictures of your kids having fun!
Such fun! Love the pictures. We have found quite a few treasures by the side of the road, too. Oh, the stories our house could tell…
By the way, thanks for the hair tip. Abby’s curls are often crazy, so we use detangler spray. I’ll have to try the water!
Happy belated New Year! I’ll be back to read your older entries later. 🙂
That looks so fun!! It looks like they had a great time in the snow. They are all good pictures.
What fun — hopefully they will always be able to play so well together!
too fun! I want snow, too!
You did such a great job capturing their joy! Great pics and great fun. Happy snow days!!
That brings back so many memories…playing in the snow for hours and not caring about being cold and wet and tired! Wow, I miss those days at times! That looks like so much fun. We get to watch the snow fall…but it never sticks and stays around! How lucky for your kids to play in the snow….your a good mom….I fear that even if we did have snow I would have a hard time letting my kids spend much time in it! 🙂
Looks like fun! I bet they’ll sleep good tonight!
I love that picture of the three of them standing there with the sled! What fun!!
What a truly blessed moment! They all look alike. Its times like those we are fortunate to have the cameras we have on hand to record such precious moments. God bless…Lisa
They look like they are having so much fun!
Fun fun fun!
You should have gone for atleast one round!
That looks like so much fun!! When do we get to see pictures of the big kids (aka grownups) sledding?? :)Have a blessed day
Joy. Pure, simple, beautiful joy. What a beautiful family.
Makes me really wish that we have more than a few flurries! It looks like such fun
