first snow

today we had the first big snow of the season. it was so beautiful to watch the snow fall all day. school was canceled so matt got to be home with us too.

our good friends came over later in the afternoon to go sledding since we have a great hill just down the road from us. we all bundled up, sophia included, and headed out to the hill. the wind was whipping, but we had several good runs.

isaiah and oliver (who is a little over 3) decided to take a run on their own. both had gone down several times before and did great. we didn't think much of it to put them on together.

they came barreling down the hill screaming like girls and instead of going straight, they veered to the left, heading straight for a ditch...where they promptly fell in. after i knew they were both okay i was hysterical. it was straight out of a cartoon. one minute they were there, one minute they were gone and all you saw was a puff of leaves pop up from where they landed.

imagine how astonished i was to find i got it on video. watch til the end - at the top of the screen. as they got closer i got more nervous, so my filming when downhill. listen for my gasp too. i think it's pretty funny...now.
