finally

We've been waiting

a long

time

for

it.

The last couple of

years

have been a

disappointment

with misses

far outnumbering

the 

hits.

2014

is proving to be

the winter we've been

hoping for.

We are finally getting 

the weather

Michigan 

is known for...

snow!

Snow that begs

for the decorations

to stay around

a little bit

longer.

Snow

that calls you from

the comfort of your couch

the

warmth of the

 fire

with the 

promise

of 

fun.

So

pack your basket

and bundle up

in woolens

grab two smiley

little girls

and head for

the hills!

where

first-time

sledders

can see for themselves

what all 

the fuss is

about.

Where

once you hit the 

bottom

you are greeted

with the words...

Let's Do That Again!

With one opting

for the

I'll just lay down

while you pull me up

approach

and the other

hoofs it up solo

each 

time

and at four

is ready to

race with the

big

boys!

taking time out

for some of the

hot cocoa

in little

espresso mugs

while bundled under

extra coats

and sweaters

in Papa Rudy's truck.

When the uncles

head off

for the

big hill

which offers up

big fun

One little girl

refuses

to miss out...

so we head to the

big hill

where she can be

the 

KING of the 

mountain.

And I can safely

say...

they are hooked!

And

the I can be changed to

WE...

That's...

We

Heart

Snow!

(we are expecting 8-10 inches

of powder today...Yippee!)

Yeah,

remind me of this

come April

;)
