Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes...

A photo heavy post, but I wanted to get these pictures up. I wanted to get them up last week, but sometimes life gets in the way of blogging.

We took a trip to the snow during our holiday in Sacramento. We loaded, both babies, Mom, Dad, Boppie, Uncle Eric, Auntie Mary, and her mom Karen into two cars, filled to the brim with snow toys, extra provisions for the babies (in case we got lost in the wilderness), blankets, four cameras (3 still and 1 video), and our morning Starbucks and off we went.

Upon arrival, Evan was asleep, and in hindsight, it might not have been such a great idea to wake him up, throw him into a snow suit, and boots, and thrust him out into the cold. (could have spurred flashbacks to birth)

It was snowing, and Evan was crying...

And then he pouted... Ryan and Mommy got stuck in some soft deep snow. Neither know what to do now...Hello???can we get a little help here???

Evan finally started to "warm up" to the whole idea of snow being fun.

Ryan could only be happier if this giant snowball was shaped like a truck.

I'm a bit biased, but is that the MOST PERFECT Snow Baby EVER?


"La, La, La, it's snowing, and it's cold...La La La, why are you doing this to me, La La La..."

He shoots! He scores!!!!!!!

Is that a SMILE I see, Evan?

Mush, Daddy, Mush

"Hey, Uncle Eric, can I sit on you to get off this cold stuff?"
"Don't tell anyone, but I'm really starting to have fun" Evan confided.

Boppie, Mom, Dad, Uncle Eric, Auntie Mary, Evan and Ryan posing for Karen.

I have to give a special shout out to Mary for taking a ton of pictures with my new camera, most of the pics on this post, are ones she took, (there is a shot or two of some one's shoe, where she alleges she fell into some soft deep snow, but most of the photos are FANTASTIC, thanks Mary!) a few on the post came from Boppie and the group shot is courtesy of Karen.

We had a wonderful first day at the snow. The only thing missing was the Williams Clan. Shelley came down with a fever the Snowday Eve, and she, Todd, and Madison had to miss all the fun.

We are so glad that we did have so many people to share this experience with, and it was quite an experience! I can't wait to do it again!!!!!
