Sledding

It snowed all night last night, has been snowing all day today, and will continue to snow tonight. On the one hand it was too bad that it snowed because we had scheduled our first devotional for last night and had invited lots of people (non-baha'is) who couldn't make it because of the storm. But these devotional gatherings will be regular so there will be other opportunities. Besides that, it was great that it snowed because today we were able to take Sasha sledding! She has been anticipating winter for a while and has been talking about all the things she wants to do in the snow. It took us a very long time to get dressed appropriately for the occasion (weather.com said it felt like 3 degrees!). So needless to say, we had lots of layers. But even so, we didn't spend very much time playing outside (almost as long as it took us to get dressed!). It was so cold, and it was a workout to climb the knee-deep snow up the hill. But we did have a lot of fun. Afterwards, we were ready to come home and have some hot chocolate!

Here she is with her first set of layers:

Final layers!

Helping put flowers out for the devotional (which we had despite the no-shows.. it was a special family time with several rounds of prayers)



She found daddy's bike gloves and helmet:



I posted a sledding video on youtube (link on the right).
