With the predictions of a lot of snow headed our way…we decided we couldn’t wait. Group sledding party!!!

The news reporter today said that Middleton, Wisconsin received 17.5 inches of snow since yesterday. Can you say SNOW DAY?????

pic 1
Yep…I can still show off my white boy butt in these awesome orange snow pants!!!

Uhm…why am I not moving anywhere?

You’re going to come and rescue me, right?

This is what 17.5 inches of snow and wind looks like. I can’t believe snow even got on our windows (and it’s not from the snow thrower!!).

If y is n and x is q…I think I might witness an avalanche today!

Check out this awesome homemade gingerbread house I visited at our very own Clausen’s European Bakery. There’s even a basket of tasty treats inside!

Do you think anyone would notice if I pulled off one of those chocolate gingerbread men?

Mama and Papa also took me to see Madison’s free Christmas light display. This year they have a new one… that looks like our Capitol building.

They even had one with a lightning bolt to honor superheroes…I’m sure. I hope you guys had a great week. Stay tuned for even more sledding/snow pictures. I’ve been spending just about all of my time outside in the snow…it’s so cool. How can any of you live where there is no snow!!! I’ll try to send you some of ours. See you next week!

Bring It On Mother Nature…We’re Ready For You!!!

Our first accumulating snow occurred last week on Thursday..and as soon as a few more flakes hit the ground I’m loading up in my gear.

I wonder where I should start?

I love my footprints…Mama come take a photo!

And I’m off!

First year to make a snow angel…without Mama making an example one first!

It rocks!

This past week we also made Christmas cookies! I decorated mine all by myself and enjoyed doing it for more than an hour! (Auntie Robyn pre-baked the cookies this time…woo-hoo!)

pic 1
Mama decorated some too…

pic 1
Nah…there’s no perfectionist tendencies in her bones.

pic 1
Uhm…how is this stuff supposed to work…seriously!

pic 1
Mama…of course I’m not finished…the cookie is not TOTALLY covered yet!

Check out part of our stash…how do you think we did?

pic 1
I think I only coughed on 3, rubbed nose goobers on 2 and put my arms into the frosting of only one! What an improvement this year!!!

“Mama, why do you always make us a weird snack for preschool?” Mama: “He ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” We hope everyone had a great weekend and who knows…maybe all of this snow we’re expecting will reach up to our rooftops! Have a great Tuesday!
