This kid…she is so much fun.  She loved the latest batch of snow.

She became a Kid Who Can Sled By Herself.  No surprise, given how much she loves a slide at a park.  She outlasted her sister by 30 or 45 minutes in our first round of sledding, through the snow that was still falling from the sky (onto her eyelashes- so beautiful!).

We made four sled runs down our front yard.  Every time she climbed back up the (small) hill, she would say “I have to use my climbing muscles.  I climb!  I climb! I climb!”

Crazy Kamikaze Amelia really got into sledding head first.  It was fine because we had so much soft snow the first day.  Sort of ok on the second day because there was still a lot of snow.

Tonight she wanted to sled down our neighbor’s backyard head first- with one small pop over a snow pile which would land her in a creek- so I didn’t let her.  She is so fun.

Sometimes they sledded together.  Here, the saucer was toppling and Amelia lost Daphne!  I love this shot.

We spent a lot of time sledding with a kid on our  laps.  Ending in a pile of snow and human. I love how they make us 30 years younger.  Until we are so sore the next day and they are not.

We made snow sundaes with syrup and rainbow sprinkles, reminding Amelia of our trip to Grannie and Grampy’s last year.

The girls and their Daddy the super sled run maker!  He made our best and fastest track and many grilled cheeses and hot cocoas.
