Winter Fun (it is possible, Lance)!

Winter is currently a thing of the past (and hopefully the far distant future--no early winter, please!), but I wanted to post some pictures of some of the winter fun we did have.  Maybe it will be the reminder we need next winter that fun is perhaps possible despite the arctic conditions.

Temple Square:
Temple square with the lights: crowded, cold, impossible parking, and absolutely magical!  This is the second year we've taken Eden and Noah and it was way warmer (although probably not above freezing) than last year.  We drove around like maniacs trying to find parking (a difficult feat with a Jazz game going on), parked illegally, oooh-ed and ahhh-ed at the lights, met up with Jeff and Carla and then hurried off for some secret Santa shopping with Jay, Brynn, and Maddi. 

Ginger Bread House:
Isn't that cute!?  Carla made ginger bread house kits for us, Aaron and Keumyeo, and her and Jeff and got all the stuff together for us to decorate so we could carry on the Weaver tradition.  Too bad we forgot the camera for the decorating.  It was super fun!  The kids acted excited to help, but just stuffed themselves with treats until they actually complained how much their tummies hurt!  I like our psychotic snowman!

Once There Was A Snow-Woman...
Tall, Tall, Tall!
From my personal journal:  "We spent the morning outside building a 7 1/2 foot tall snowman together!  Eden loved it!  Noah is pretty sketchy about the snow even though he has all the warm gear, so he wasn't as excited.  It was sunny for a lot of the morning and after the snow-woman was complete we sledded down the side of our yard from front to backyard a few times and played with the kids on the slide.  It was nice." 

Let It Snow?
Eden loved the snow this year!  We would bundle up and she would stay out there until her feet (stuck in plastic bags and then into her shoes) couldn't take it any longer.  Noah wasn't so sure about that white stuff and tried to hide out on the porch most of the time.  Maybe this next winter we'll have to invest in some snow boots for the both of them and see if it helps!

It does look like fun. I do especially like you big eyed, big lipped short snowman along with the 7 1/2 foot skinny armed version. Winter can be fun...as long as it is short!

Our Family Blog

Well, as trendy as it is, we jumped on the blogwagon and started our own family blog. We will try and occasionally tell everyone what we are up to, and to prevent hours of searching through our intolerably exiting lives, we will try to keep it as concise and attractive as possible.
