happy new year!

We had a fun day today playing in the few inches of snow we had this morning. We took the kids (plus Ella's friend) up to the local park for some sledding, but ended up spending more time making snow men as the snow was PERFECT for rolling into snowballs.
And there were loads of snowball fights...
And lots and lots of pushing balls all over the field to make them really big. They were REALLY heavy to lift.
It's not often you get snow like that here- it was the first time the kids had done it.
The boys enjoyed destroying everything and having full blown snow in the face snowball wars...
While the girls spent ages making snow men, dogs and monsters (and then getting really grumpy when the boys kept trying to wreck them). We ended up teaching a whole bunch of kids how to roll balls to make snow men. It was fun.
Tonight we're being tortured with the gorgeous smells of lamb roast that Matt is cooking us for our new years dinner...thinking about going skiing tomorrow so it may be an early-ish night tonight.
May 2010 be an awesome, exciting, adventurous year to you all!

  2. Totally cool snowmen! That's something to add to my bucket list (not that I'm expecting to kick the bucket soon!) Now, just to find some snow...
