SNOWapalooza 2010

Last weekend was a truly great one in Nashville, with 4 inches of snow - enough for five days of sledding, snowman-making, snowball-fighting, hot chocolate-drinking and friend-gathering. This is how winter should be! We were finally able to use the sled we bought three years ago, and we headed to the hill near our neighborhood pool for some serious sledding.

To top it off, Parker and Jerod both made the Tennessean. Parker was so excited! Here's the photo of Jerod sledding with our neighbor Tim. (Tennessean photo by George Walker IV).



The rest of the photos are mine ....

Here's Sawyer, who is now addicted to sledding.



Here's me and Sawyer heading down the entrance to the trail. (Jerod took this pic.)



Parker and Jerod did some night sledding in front of our house.


Tim and Erin. We headed to their house after one sledding session for some hot chocolate spiked with Bailey's and Kahlua. Ahhhhhh.


Parker and Ethan heading down the slope.

Parker and Mathias heading up the hill for another run.


A full morning of sledding called for some bloody Marys. Hot chocolate for the kids.

Parker and Sawyer

Mathias and Heather came over before the snow melted on Tuesday, and the timing was perfect for making a snowman.

Sawyer helped, too.

And I have to say that Parker may have met someone who loves Batman as much as he does. After making the snowman, Parker and Mathias played Batman and Two-Face - a great excuse for a snowball fight. Here's Mathias in full Batman gear.

We loved every minute of the snow ... and now we're ready for spring.
