Sledding

We took Lilly sledding for the first time ever last week. She was a little nervous about the whole thing, but she eventually got the hang of it and had a good time...for about 10 minutes. In short, we were outside and sledding for a shorter amount of time than it took to get dressed and ready for the snow. It was windy and bitter cold, we were probably only outside for about 30 minutes total.
She looked alot like Randy in 'A Christmas Story'. She couldn't move her arms and needed help to get up and down. When Bryan took her down a bigger hill, snow blew into her face and she said "face, face" and couldn't get her hands around to wipe her face. That's when we took her in.
First time in the sled and down a 'hill'. If you look closely, you can tell by he look on her face that she isn't quite sure about what's going on.

The whole fam (except Doodle). Check out the sledding 'hill' behind us. Perfect size for Lilly, but not that fun for Bryan and I.

Sometimes it is just fun to be pulled in the sled...and sometimes it isn't. In this picture Lilly is saying "Out. Out.".

We rounded out the day with a little child labor. Shoveling the sidewalk was probably Lilly's favorite part of the whole sledding experience.

  4. Family fun or family frostbite?

    What about the hot chocolate??--that's my favorite part of sledding and I'm sure Lilly would agree.
    I love her snow shovel.
    Did she get "coins" for shoveling.
