happy snow year

Snowy ski-hike to round off 2009.

The waterfall destination is sadly all covered in ice and snow....but still pretty.

Tired little skiers opt to ride back in the sled....giddy-up Daddy.

Happy New Year!

ski bunnies

Another foot of snow means more snowy pics....

Little skier all suited up.

Big bro blazes the trail.

Taking her pal for a sled ride.

Brrrrr.

So proud, perched on top of the ever-growing Mt. Driveway.

snowy bumps

3 lumberjack bumps on a log,

1 bump on a belly,

1 snowy bum on a bucket,

1 pinkie bump on a lap,

and 1 furball on a log.

more of the same

Snowy scooper,

snowy birthday cake makers,

and snowy swingers.

fun by the foot

Mid-blizzard.

Hard to keep snow-bunnies inside at 8am when flakes are flying.

30 mph wind is no match for this shoveler.

Mini-mite stays warm out of the wind...

in this sleek shuttle.

Next day, 8am again, 0 degrees. We love the snowplow.

Mega drift makes for secret hide-away.

little, but loved

Off in search of this year's Christmas tree in our woods.

Happy travelers.

Hmmm.....

this one!

The homely, but well loved little tree is warm and cozy inside.

just enough

A dusting is all you need...

for a snow snack and moustache,

and an excuse to wear snowpants, rubber boots, mittens up to your elbows, and no jacket of course.
