First time sledding!

Xander has been begging to go sledding for a month! We finally got a little bit of snow, so we jumped at the chance to meet some friends at a park and try out the sled. This was Xander's first time and he had a lot of fun. Even after splashing around in the slush, he was still pretty dry under his winter wear. Only his socks were wet, and they dried quickly in front of the heat in the car. By the time we got to Pizza Luce for lunch, he was all dry and warmed up. We ate lots of good food and Xander, Ava and Lily all got big cups of hot chocolate!

Xander's first trip down a hill and he got to go by himself! It was just a tiny slope, so he wasn't scared at all. He was so cute!

Ann and Lily - look at that big smile!

I wonder who this snowball is meant for?
Trying to make a snow angel. Kind of hard with just a little bit of sloppy, wet snow, but he thought it was fun.
Of course the kids couldn't pass up a chance to play at the park, even if it was covered in ice and snow. Xander is definitely our child - he always picks the "lounge chair" swing!
Drying out in the warm car. He had so much fun and we look forward to many more days like this!
