Fun in the snow! I think?

Since we were unable to open presents after breakfast we decided to play in the snow. We got Mackenzie all bundled up. (Thanks Kari for the use of Lincolns boots. They were not used for the intended purpose, it was to cold to go up the canyon, but we did use them. Sorry we didn't get them back to you on Monday in time for your kids to play) Here is Mackenzie trying to walk by herself in the snow. Notice how she is three feet away from the walkway and her gloves are already off. She wanted to feel the snow with her hands.



Brian and Michelle tried to have a snow ball fight but the snow was way to powdery. If the could even get it into a ball form it blew apart the moment the threw it.

Needless to say they ended up flinging snow back and forth from a very close range.

Mackenzie had no clue what was going on. She also was having a hard time walking without holding someones hand. I also think she was getting chilly (It was in the Thirties)

So she convinced Grandma to pick her up.

She did have some fun being out there this picture proves it. Just remember she was smilling in this picture minutes before the next one was taken.

And here she is with a face full of snow. She had wanted to throw a snowball. Well because of said conditions they weren't going very far, so I decided to "help" her alittle bit. Well i helped her a little bit too much. She fell face first into the snow and was not happy about it. Yes I gave my daughter her first white wash. Ahh well something to laugh about in years to come.
