Winter Activities

Barbecuing in the winter? When it is 5 degrees outside? No problem. Here's what you do...
Shovel all the snow away from the 'que so you don't slip with all that yummy meat on the plate.

Get the snow off the cover so you can take it off, and get cooking. Rick is not afraid to get out there and do his share to get dinner ready. Thank you dear!!!


Other chores in the snow involve shoveling. Rick has a bad knee, and I am pregnant, who does that leave? Katie. I mean who says one is too young to help out around the house, right?!?! Actually that's probably all she did, I had to do the rest with the help of Aunt Carrie who graciously came over to lend a hand. Rick has a really bad knee and will be having surgery in two weeks to hopefully make it good as new! But for now he has to save his workouts for work.



We still manage to have a lot of fun in the snow. Katie loves and I mean LOVES to make snow angels. She makes them all over the yard. We don't get a lot of snow in our town so we take advantage when it gets deep.


She tried her luck at sledding at the school up the street. She is pretty good.

She doesn't love bringing the sled back up the hill, but if she wanted to sled she had to bring the sled and herself back up the hill, which by the way, was only about 7 feet.


We are enjoying winter while we have it, which is a long LONG time!!! Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2010 will be your best year yet!
