February 2nd is a big day in our house. Not only is it Wally's birthday, but it is also Groundhog's Day, which Luke probably knows more about than the average 4 year old. What made this February 2nd even more special is that we woke up to some snow on the ground!
Luke was so excited that it had snowed and he told Wally, "You even get to shovel on your birthday!". Just what Wally wanted to do on his birthday :)
After some shoveling and playing outside, we decided to give sledding a try at an awesome hill nearby! We weren't sure how long the kids would last, but they actually did really good and loved it (until of course, there was a little tumble and some snow got in their face and hands - then it was over!).
All smiles the first time up the hill. After that, there was a lot of "Can you carry me?"
Heading down for the first time! He loved it!
Riding solo!
Back up we go!
Now, let me say the first time the kids came down together, I was freaking out. I was at the bottom and was expecting Luke to come by himself and Paige to ride with Wally. Leave it to Daddy to do something I wouldn't dare try! I was at the bottom yelling to Wally, "Are you serious???" But, they loved it. The video is full of giggles!
As we were driving back from sledding, I said, "Good thing it snowed so we could go sledding on Daddy's birthday.". And in true 4-year old fashion, Luke said, "And shovel!". I hope 14-year old Luke loves to shovel just as much!
After sledding, we had lunch and naps and finished off Daddy's birthday celebration with church and some dinner.
Here are some phone pics of our day!
You can't help but laugh at this picture!
Happy 32 Daddy! We love you!
(I think I am back to blogging hopefully more regularly! First of all, I have had no time. Secondly, I ran out of space on Photobucket which I use to store my photos and upload them to the blog so I needed to find an alternative that was just as easy and I finally did!)
