Playing in the Snow

One of our girl's favorite things about moving to Grandma and Grandpa's house is having a yard of our own to play in.  They're really familiar with the house and the yard because we've spent a lot of time over here in their lifetimes, but it's different being here all the time and having more space for them to play and run around.  They're loving it!  Another bonus is that we've gotten a lot more snow this year than we have in the past few years combined.  The girls LOVE playing in the snow and get super excited anytime they see snow falling outside.  It's especially fun for them to wake up to new, fresh snow!  Luckily Daddy has been awesome with taking them outside to play.  He's a super trooper when he has to lace up my snow boots for me to go outside with them too.  I'm sure it's quite the sight to see me try and bend over to put anything on my feet at this point in my current condition! ;)

And of course no play date in the snow is complete without a snowman.  Or a "snowbug" in this case.

Here's their snowman from this time playing in the snow.  Pine cone face and all!

Aurora wasn't quite ready to come inside when everyone else was, so she stayed outside on the porch by herself for a little bit.

Then after warming up they had some quality sister time playing on the electronics.  Haha!

Sometimes playing outside in the snow has to wait until Daddy gets home from work, which means we don't have a whole lot of time to play before it gets dark, but that doesn't stop these kiddos!
Happy to be out in the snow!

Rori started working on making another snowman.

Sometimes it takes team work!

And of course they only get to eat the snow when it's fresh :)

Their snowman turned out HUGE this time!  It was taller than Daddy!

We got a LOT of snow this day.  The girls got to play in the front yard this time while Daddy worked on shoveling the sidewalks and driveway (I think he shoveled everything 3 times while they were out there because it just kept coming down!).  He's such a fun Daddy and made a snow slide for them to play on.  It was a huge hit!  Everyone at church knew about it because the girls told everyone they saw that "Daddy made a snow slide" for them.  He even made steps on one side so they could climb up on their own.  He's pretty awesome. I certainly can't deny it!

We all miss our little condo, but it certainly is fun to be here and have our own space!  Here's to many more adventures at Deming National Park :)
