It's been snowing!

From what I remember it's literally been years since we've had this much snowfall in the month of December. Come to think of it, it's been years since it's snowed substantially weekend to weekend like it has here the past two weeks. It's been so great. It's been feeling a lot like Christmas! The first weekend of snow we received we stayed cozy inside and had a lot of hot chocolate with logs constantly on the fire. This last weekend we had to take advantage so, we played a little. We did some shoveling (which I actually enjoy)..... and then we started to play a little more. I mean, look at the size of those flakes.

and then the next morning when we woke up to even more snow, and it was still falling; We knew it was time, time to really take advantage of this great snow and do something we haven't done in years....Go TUBING!!!

So, We did. And all day Saturday too!

Here we are all decked out in our snow gear.

Ready to take on whatever challenge our tubing experience had to offer!

Just waiting for the tubes to inflate.

We had to bring the four wheelers! I mean come on, you don't want to walk up the hill once you've tubed down. It really wouldn't be fun.

Here the sun is breaking through the fog and clouds. The weather was changing every five minutes. It was beautiful.

Mom and Dad getting in on the action.

Andrew pulling me up on the tube. Scott was taking the picture from his tube.

We all decided to link up. We made it down the first hill, through all the level areas on the mountain and then down the steep hill in one shot. It really paid off to have all the weight and we laughed and almost peed coming down. It was AWESOME!!! We all stayed warm and used muscles we didn't remember we had in a very long time. It was all totally worth it, even if a little pee came out!

P.S. I'm thankful it snowed because it gave me an opportunity to make time to finally blog!
