Sweetest Pea:
One of the best parts of Christmas for us this year was introducing you to the joys of real snow (the kind that is deep and does not melt in an hour) and sledding. We were in Colorado where it snowed a lot while we were there and your Nana got you a little red sled with a comfy bucket seat and seat belt for you as an early Christmas present! You had not really seen much snow since you were a baby last Christmas, so we got you some snow pants on sale in town and some warm gloves and outside we went! You had no idea, but life was about to get really, really fun!
You were initially a bit tentative as you tend to be in brand new situations, but you eventually loved the snow and enjoyed stomping around in it a bit. You loved to walk along on your own on the driveway and the road (zero traffic!) You would let us know when you were tired, but you loved being outside in the cold air and it was so much fun to experience your first real encounter with snow as a family.
The best part of playing in the snow with you was by far, the sledding. We had an absolute BLAST pulling you all around on your new sled. We went for walks in the forest with you sledding along behind us, we twirled you around in the gently plowed road (still no traffic up there of course!) and your delighted squeals made us forget how winded we were getting running you up and down the road in the thin air. You LOVED it.
Your smiles were huge, your cheeks rosy, your body all bundled up warm, your boots were on and you were super duper happy out there on your cute little red sled in the winter wonderland. We could not help ourselves as we took photo after photo and video after video of your delight. You loved it so much that every time anyone would put on their coat to go outside, you would run and get your boots and snow pants telling us in your own way that you wanted to head out and sled some more. You were soooo cute and we LOVED getting to be your first sledding buddies. So. Much. Fun!
