The week in between Christmas and New Year's was crazy cold down here in the desert!
There was even a smidge of snow down in our major city...so our high country got dumped on!
We decided to head up to our high country (about 3 hours away) on New Year's Eve to play in the snow ~and let Biruk see "frozen" for the first time. :)
he kept seeing snow on the side of the road and kept repeating "I see frozen!"

we hit the same place last year ~it's an off ramp -must be a logging road or something when the weather is warmer. the road is shut off due to the massive amounts of snow so you can climb up the hills and sled down.problem -roughly 3ft of powder meant kids (and adults) sinking in the snow and climbing became almost impossible!
I think Biruk likes "frozen"!
daddy attempted to forge a path up the hill ~but it was still so tough for the kids!
Elizabeth only lasted about 45 minutes ~the snow gear we had for her didn't fit perfectly and her feet got cold and wet ~so she opted to spend time in the heated Yuk*on.Biruk followed closely behind....being cold was novel for the first hour ~but then he was ready to warm up!
Becca lasted the longest -her snow gear fit perfectly so she stayed warm and dry the whole time!here she is eating the snow.
Biruk on one of his last runs down the little hill
by now everyone was in the car but John, Becca and I. :)
more snow eating ~you just gotta know Becca ~she's quirky. :)
look how blue that sky is behind me?! it was a gorgeous day ~but the high was 16 ~BRRRRR
just a cool pic of my handsome hubs
we headed into town for a warm lunch ~and noticed a ton of people across the street sledding on a hill on the local college campus.
before heading back home, we thought we'd at least give it a go and try the sledding here ~the snow was packed down so it was MUCH easier to get around.
we ended up sledding here for over an hour!
daddy and Andrew killed time with a snowball fight.
warm and snuggly and ready to head home!
and since it was New Year's Eve, after dinner we headed out into our cul-de-sac to be festive!

Love the pic of Biruk in the frozen. Such joy captured! You tell your boy that I "don't like frozen" much either. So glad we are back to 70 degrees!
How fun to get to take Biruk to the snow for the first time...he has a great big smile on his face! Looks like you guys had a ball !!! Happy New Year to you all !! Love Auntie Paula and family(and, of course Ace)
Fun, fun, fun. We love snow too!!!
