winter wonderland

we went to utah for christmas last month. we made it into town hitting a storm head on in spanish fork canyon (i have never seen snow pelt anything like that before and there was lightening too--totally white knuckle craziness!)

anyway, needless to say the next day there was a lot of snow on the ground (close to two feet of new stuff, not including what was already on the ground) and Elijah was just dying to go out and play. It is quite a process to get a little boy dressed to go outside and as soon as sammy saw what was going on he wanted in on the action (that boy just loves to go, especially where ever Elijah goes).

pictures: Elijah with my sisters and sammy and josh ready to go out to play.

apparently i dressed Elijah too warmly because he didn't want to come in. Sammy just didn't quite know what to do with himself. the snow was almost as tall as him and he could barely move in all his getup.

Sammy's hood makes him look like a gnome. I just love it!

Josh bum deep in snow and the view of mount loafer from my parents front yard. i just love the snow covered trees!
