Let it snow, let it snow, let it SNOW!!

Woooo Hooooo! After months of anxious anticipation, today we finally got our first really truly sticky snowfall! We've had a few flurries here and there, but nothing we could go out and play in. This morning, four little boys were very VERY excited to look out the windows and see the snow falling hard! We immediately got everyone bundled up and headed across the street to Riverside Park for some fun in the snow!

At the upper level of Riverside Park...


We walked down to the middle level of the park, where it's very forest-y, especially right now since you can't see the sidewalks and subway grates because of the snow!


And he's off!


Joshua and Jonathan making some snowballs...


Jonathan is proud of his first snowball attempt...he promptly chunked it at Joshua!

Jordan just threw a snowball at Mommy!


Jonathan decided to make a snowman as well...


Joey and Jonathan posing with Jon's snowman...he used leaves for facial features, lol!


This is the boys' favorite climbing rock covered with snow...this is the same rock we took our fall group pictures on a few months ago!


Playing in a winter wonderland!


Joey tries to make a snowball...


The boys tried to slide down the hill on their bottoms...while they had fun doing it this way, we decided a sled might be even MORE fun...so we bought one and went back later in the afternoon...


A parting shot of the park...


After lunch, I took Joshua, Jonathan, and Jordan back to go sledding...here Jordan and Joshua give it a go!


Jonathan and Joshua...
Checking out a snowman that had been built while we were back at our apartment having lunch...while we were gone apparently lots of people had come out to play, because the park was dotted with snowmen. Most were this size, but there was one that was several feet taller than me!
The boys dragging the sled back up the hill...this is the same snowman from the previous photo...I love how he has a snowball in his hand, ready for a snowball fight!
There they are sledding down the hill!
This looks worse than it was...don't worry, he came up laughing!!
We're supposed to get even more snow over the weekend, and the boys have already asked if we can go sledding again tomorrow! I think they're going to really enjoy the winter here, don't you?

WOW!!! How much fun! We miss you.
Aaron and Catherine will be coming back through ABQ 12/30 and we have had tons of snow in the mountains, so we are hoping to introduce Weston and Hadley to snow and maybe sledding.

Jackson came over just now to look at your pictures and promptly said, "NO FAIR!!" I was just simply LOOKING at your pictures and had to go put fuzzy socks on. DANG, that looks cold! Beautiful but COLD!! Too cold. I had to use our seat heaters in the truck today and it was...um, 48 degrees outside. hee hee!! The Hummer has backseat seat heaters so that the boys can have warm bums, too!!
