birthday sledding


We waited to celebrate the girls' birthdays until we got back from a business trip, but I wanted to do something fun on Sammi's birthday before we left, so I took the girls over to mom & dad's to sled on the hill behind their house. Daddy had to work, but he celebrated with us later...














Sammi ate up every minute of it and didn't want to come inside! Poor Natalie's shoes were way too big (she outgrew the ones Sam wore at this time so she has to wear the next size up which are too big) so she couldn't walk in the snow and kept falling on her face when we'd try to put her down! Sam sled on her bottom, on her back, forward, backward, and went stomping through the snow! We were all getting cold so grandpa pushed the three of us down one last time REALLY fast and we CRASHED! Sammi and mommy giggled and giggled but poor Natalie cried and cried! 

We went inside for cake and special soft pretzels my dad makes from scratch (YUM!) It was a great way to spend a birthday together! :-) The official birthday party post will be coming soon.....
