Snow Fun

 Three of my baby brother's Grands were over to visit. 


They made snow angels. 


Xavier went for a shovel ride.


They had serious discussions.  They tromped through the woods.


And shared an icicle



It was a nice break in our day...it was just about 30 F but windy. After they left Neighbors Steve and Jo came over and shivered with us out on the patio.

Oh! I had forgotten about shovel rides. My dad did that for us too!

Isn’t it wonderful how people find ways to be together and still be safe?! Not the same, but maybe all the more precious because of the effort and creativity it takes. In a normal year we would be spending today baking loaves of Christmas bread for the neighbors but this year it’s only cards and a chat from six feet away. Today is always an exhausting day that starts early and ends in a mess, so I am sitting here this morning looking at the bright side — no cleanup!

That is so great! I know we'd love to have some company outside to watch play and converse with. The mules will have to provide the entertainment.

Darn my grandchildren aren't little angels... but they do live in the Arizona desert. :)

I love love love that icicle picture and the shovel ride. What a blast from my Minnesota childhood! Bet it was fun watching the kids having fun. We are having a lovely blizzard here today. Bummer!

I remember making snow angels with our kids. Thank you for the fun memory. Sharing the icicle is another fun memory. Your baby brother has some cute grands! I'm glad you had a few visits.
Blessings,
Betsy

They are adorable and they sure seem to enjoy the snow much more than you do ;)

So much joy just watching them play!
We folks in Ontario are going into lockdown at midnight Boxing Day. We're ready to just kick back and chill down here at the back forty.

Our neighbor kids shuffle through the snow and then just go inside. The family of older kids don't bother to come outside. It was nice to have you brothers grands being active outside.

Glad you got to see some grands and neighbors too. We just finished watching a Hallmark movie....it was very good! I'm good for one movie a night....my hubby could watch 3 or 4 in a row! Wishing you both a most wonderful and Blessed Christmas!

How fun to have little visitors ~ they look like they are having fun in the calm before the storm. Oh boy that Baxter is a cutie :)

What cuties!!! It's so nice you still have people stop by and visit. I never see my neighbors and they live right next door! LOL! Not the friendliest community.

Snow angels! How fun. Guess there's no question whether you will have a white Christmas or not...

Truly some winter angels! So glad you had a visit and it was decent enough to be outside.
