While visiting my home state of Pa for Christmas last week we got to experience snow.
Boy, were we Southerners delighted.
And not only did we get to experience it once
We also got to see it twice
and then much to our greatest delight- thrice!!
We were happy!
The Canadians were not overly impressed..
But they got excited because it made us so excited. :)
So we sledded.
That was a first time sledding for my two.
And years since i've been out on a sled myself.
And also there was the snow ice cream that was enjoyed..
I just loved looking out at the overall beauty of it all::)
Of course i had my share of wet socks from stepping in a melted snow puddle..
And nearly froze when entering the outside world, due to lack of clothing in the snow clothing department.
And when it came to driving in the stuff i was more then happy to hand the keys over to my sister. We entered the mall the one day and 2 hours later came out to snow everywhere:)

Enjoying the Chocolate Snow Ice Cream...
Sledding was great fun..
I loved to watch my kids expressions when going down the hill..
The view from the window.. :)
It was simply delightful!
I live only 2 1/2 south of home and we didn't get as much snow as they had up there. We had about about an inch on Christmas eve. and then again on Sat. but only about 2 inches. Not enough to go sledding in. Boo Hoo! The picture of the first girl sure looks like a Burkholder. Is it a little Caren?! Is she Katrina's girl? Glad you had a great time at home. Did know if I would see you at all but we were there the Sat. before Christmas and then my we went with mom to Millmont on Sun. for church. Sometimes we go with Evelyn and Rhonda to Faith.

Yes, that is Katrina's oldest daughter. We always have said she looks like my mom and Trina did when they were little.. never thought of Caren, but i can see that now that you said it..:)
DeleteYes, we drove up the Sat. before Christmas and went to Faith on Sunday...were there for the week and came home the next Sunday... Maybe sometime we will cross paths there.. :)
Hope you guys get some more snow- enough to sled in!
