Marty left bright and early yesterday morning to go back to Washington...let's just say that some people (Addison) have been horribly grumpy since then.
Thank goodness we woke up to SNOW today to give the kids a bit of a distraction though. As soon as the kids saw outside, they were all beyond excited. I guess living somewhere that gets little to no snow for the last couple winters makes it even more magical for them now. Addison was barely 1 last year, so this was her first year really experiencing it. She stood by the window saying "Wow! Cool!" for a good 5 minutes before insisting she go out in it.
And mostly for Marty's sake, here is a TON of pictures of the fun they had:
First up: Make Grandpa drag us around on the sled
Then it was time to just play
Then sledding (Claire's face is the BEST in these)
In the picture above you can barely see Addison's face behind Claire's terrified one...but it's pretty great as well.
Addison attempted to drag the kids around
But soon realized it was better to get in and make Grandpa do it some more
Addison refused to get out of the sled, but found a new victim willing to drag her all over. She also thought laying down and relaxing was the only way to properly be dragged in the sled.
And then they were all frozen and went inside for some hot chocolate.
(Plus, the adults were worn out.)
The kids probably think this is their only chance to play in the snow, since it's been that way for the last couple years, one snow storm or one visit to Utah and that's all the snow they get. But luckily (or unfortunately) there will be PLENTY of days like this ahead. Next time we just hope Marty is here, then he can be the muscle to drag Addison around.
