Tree Cutting and Snow

A couple of weekends ago we headed up to the mountains for our annual tree cutting. Aliya's first and Owen's third. We put Aliya in our backpack so that Dave could carry her and bring a tree back. I was in charge of Owen which meant that we would be behind several times, I would have to adjust his mittens every few minutes, and sometimes I would have to carry him. It is unusual for their to be snow on the ground, so it was nice treat to see it. Owen had a blast and even helped Daddy cut down the tree.

We also have experienced several one day snow storms recently. We bundled Aliya and Owen up and headed outside. Owen LOVED every minute of it. He made snow angels, played in the snow, rode on a sled, and made a snowman. Aliya didn't enjoy it too much, but we got a few photos of her smiling. Can't wait for next year when Aliya can walk in it.
