Valentine's Day Sledding

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day this year. It was the first Saturday in a while that Spence has been home all day to hang out with me and the babies. That morning we took it easy just hanging out and playing with the kids. During nap time, Spence wrote his High Council talk for the next day and I got some work done. When the kids woke up, we went sledding. Afterward, we came home to a great Valentine's dinner- heart shaped pizza. Yum.

Sledding with the kids was so much fun. Grandpa and Grandma Davis gave them a sled for Christmas and we hadn't really used it, so we took it for a spin. The kids absolutely loved it. I wish I had a picture of their faces as they went down- grins from ear to ear. Not only did they love sledding, but they loved it when we just sat them down in the snow to play. They thought it was great. Spence taught Blair to eat the snow and she thought that was so fun. They don't have snow boots, so they just wore their tennis shoes. The bottoms of their jeans were a little wet from snow going up their snow pants, but they didn't seem to mind one bit. We weren't there for very long because it started to get dark, but the kids could have gone for more which really surprised me. I thought they'd only like it for a few minutes. Beacuse they loved it so much, we're looking forward to more sledding days. Good thing Dad won't have to work for a few more Saturdays. We look forward to hanging out with him whenever possible in busy season.

I love the cross-eyed pic of Blair eying her snowball...so cute! Just make sure Spence teaches Blair not to eat yellow or brown snow. ;) Can't wait until next weekend!

That picture of Spencer kissing Balir is so priceless. What a fun idea to take them sledding.
