pictures are worth a thousand words

we headed up to our local ski resort last week
& on the way we got pulled over.
I think the pics say more than words
(though I did add words, just for fun;)

and then, there's Jeremy...

he was 16 the last time he got pulled over, 

he doesn't look too happy:

But, the craziest thing happened...

the cop didn't give us a ticket, just a warning...

(choirs of angels came down singing hallelujah, it was crazy>!!!)

Ya know how they say "it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt"?

I want to add to that...it's all fun & games until somebody gets cold...

we accidentally packed Sofia's capri snow pants 

(aka: the 2T's instead of the 4T's) 

I think the face says it all

she got COLD real fast

and MAD real fast!

so, I took her to the lodge, 

sat by the fire, 

had some hot cocoa 

and a rice crispy treat 

and we took a nap!

and jeremy continued to try to herd cats

by the end of the day, the kids had caught on pretty well. 

it was ingrid's first time and she was pretty awesome.

It was swede's 2nd yr. and she rocked it again as per her usual

if you need me i'll be in the lodge

ps: don't forget to enter the giveaway for this beautiful necklace!!

yep, it's snowy

We've had a lot of mushy, slushy, wet snow here in Utah last week mixed with super sunny days...it's kinda been weird, considering we only got about 1" of snow the entire month of December.  I'm not usually a big fan of snow, but going the whole month of December with brown grass and dead leaves was not as beautiful as December could/should be. 
I guess Utahns were not prepared when the snow finally starting flying....This is an example of the snowy days we've had, and the difficulties some of had driving in it:



The days in between the overcast and snowy are so beautiful!  I absolutely love a sunny, snow-covered day.   When I take Swede to school, it's right when the sun is rising and it's so amazingly beautiful I often have to stop and take pictures.  These are from my cell phone, just imagine if I'd had our nice camera with me!

I absolutely LOVE when there's frost on the trees! It reminds me of my wedding day :)

 Oh, and the next day, I came upon this:

I felt like a dork snapping pictures while they were in this predicament, but I had to share!  Plus, they seemed like they were in pretty good spirits.

I have no idea how they did this, considering that above this is a parking lot, and the ice had melted by then.  I hope they have good insurance :/

Drive safe out there, people!  Oh, and enjoy the beauty that is winter while you're at it ;)
