Wintery Fun

With all the snow we have had here in Illinois recently we’ve had to get outside and have some fun. So crafting has been on hold to play outside! Hope you all don’t mind, I have a super yummy recipe for some easy peasy Christmas cookies I am going to be posting next…promise! Instead of sitting inside by my lonesome at my sewing machine, we have embraced the chilly air and made snowmen and snow angels, went sledding and had some pretty interesting snowball fights with toddlers. Here is a look at how are December has been shaking up:

Every year we like to make a big snowman in our front yard. Here is this year’s “Frosty” or as Noah says, ‘Not Frosty just Snowman, Frosty is only in the book!’ (Duh, mom!!!) Also, every night before he goes to bed he wants us to call Snowman on Snowman’s cell phone (since all snowmen have one, right?) and tell him goodnight. My, kids have such imagination, love it!

Penny’s first trip sledding.

We go to a local park that was built just for sledding (you won’t find one of those in Florida!) and the hills are amazing! This orange sled in the picture above is like a rocket and the speed we go is ridiculous. Penny absolutely loved it. She’s fearless.
