SNOW

I woke up around five this morning hoping to see the ground covered with the snow that had been predicted and hooray - it was there!
We were supposed to get quite a bit of snow Christmas Eve night into Christmas Day and although we did have a White Christmas, it wasn't nearly what they had predicted. Jason and the girls played in it some but there wasn't enough to do much. Mackenzie was REALLY disappointed. I think we played enough today to make up for it.

We all went to an empty hilly neighborhood near us and tried doing some sledding but the hills weren't steep enough to go very fast.

Towards the end the girls just wanted Jason to pull him around behind the Jeep.

We stopped at home, warmed up by the fire with soup and hot chocolate then headed over to try out the big hills at our friend's house.

We went to another empty neighborhood (with less hills) and I drove the Jeep with the big kid (Jason) and Peyton in the sled. Then we picked up pizza and came home - I thought to stay in for the evening but then Jason and Peyton went out to play and built this cute little snowman (snowgirl?).

Now they are all out there AGAIN! I'm sure tomorrow will bring more of the same. I'm excited the girls have a snow day, I wasn't ready for them to go back to school.

Rocktoberfest

Every year, Jason takes his Jeep and goes to Rocktoberfest for a few days. This year he wanted us to join him on the trails for a day - I don't even like going over the curb so you can imagine my feelings toward joining him. Then it rained and the campsite he stays at flooded so he came home early (thankfully he did come home, some people stayed and had to be rescued). I thought that would mean I would get out of the trail ride. No such luck. He wanted to go back and we went with him. Remember what I said about the curbs - I took these pictures while we were parked in the middle of this creek:

There were a few times that I wanted to get out of the Jeep but I kept a smile on my face and we had a great day together.

Husband was Teasing Me

This is our jeep next to that jeep that was upside down (that I thought was ours in a previous post). Like I can tell one jeep from another when looking at it's undercarriage!

My Husband Wonders...

...why I don't want to go off roading with him...
Yes, this is our Jeep from a couple of weekends ago and Jason was in it when it went from upright to sideways. Nice (I say it sarcastically and Jason says it proudly).
