White winter wonderland

At the beginning of our trip back to the midwest for the holidays, we ventured up to Michigan to visit Grandpa and Nana. They had lots of snow to play in and it was definitely a white winter wonderland! They had about 3 feet of base snow and it snowed every day we were there. No joke!Let's play in the snow! Evan was not too thrilled to be dressed up like Randy ("A Christmas Story" - my favorite Christmas movie!)...Evan wasn't very happy at first with the snow. He wanted to be held all the time. Here he is with Aunt Wendy...Daddy was enjoying the snow also. He was trying to get a sledding path in the yard, but the snow was too deep. We ended up sledding down the driveway!Yep! Evan went sledding. Here is his first run with Clayton (see the smile on Evan's face?!)...Hanging out with Mommy...All bundled up...what a beautiful face...

Check out the rosy cheeks!

Evan eventually liked the snow. He started playing in it...

Trying to make snowballs...

Taking a walk in the winter wonderland...Clayton, Uncle Jim, and Daddy were working on digging a trench and tunnels near the road. The snow was even DEEPER out there because of the snow plows. Here is Clayton in one of the trenches...it's almost as tall as he is. Pretty deep snow, huh?To cap the day outside, Evan and Mommy went sledding a few times. Evan liked sledding if we didn't pile into the snow drifts and tumble over. All in all we had a great time in the snow!
