Christmas Eve - More snow!

Merry Christmas Eve! We woke up this morning to several more inches of snow...which now later in the day is melting (boo!). So, we decided to take the kids out in the snow. Thirty sweaty minutes later....we were ready to (finally!) go out. 
Charlie was really excited to check out his "sled", but got stuck underneath:
It was actually pretty warm out - so Charlie seemed to like it much better than he did last week.
Of course, he was bundled in many, many, many layers. Charlie was in a small rubbermaid bin and I pulled him with bungee cords. Henry was in a bigger rubbermaid bin and Nate pulled him with rope. They LOVED it!



Henry laughed and laughed when Nate off-roaded with him:

And....tipped him over. Henry thought that was hilarious.
Knee-deep and lovin' it!
No daddy! or as Henry says "wrestle me!"



Just hanging out in my bucket...
Making snow angels:
I fell out of my bucket! Oh wait, this is kind of fun!
Henry and Daddy's snowman. As I look at the snowman now, the snow is melting and the candy we used for the eyes and mouth are discoloring - so the snowman looks more like Heath Ledger in Batman than it does an actual snowman. Scary.
Once Charlie got a feel of the snow, I couldn't keep him out of it:


And what do you think you are going to do with that my boy????
Oh.

We didn't plan on being home and cooking on Christmas Eve, so we don't really have anything planned for tonight. Right now, we are thinking Chinese or Thai dine-in...and then we wait for Santa! Yesterday, Henry asked us out of the blue "Is Santa watching me?".  He also didn't want us to turn the fireplace on in fear that Santa would be burned. Oh Henry...can you get any cuter? Love, B
