Well, we got about 10 inches of snow by our house, so we decided to take advantage of the storm and have some fun! We went down to Naperville to go sledding with Cousin Caroline, Aunt Domi, and Aunt Teesa. Ben had an absolute blast! It was his first time sledding and he couldn't get enough of it. He was excited from the very start, as evidenced by this picture taken before he even went down for the first time...
Then we found a smaller hill that Ben and Caroline could go down together by themselves. As much fun as the big hill was, they preferred to go down the small hill together for the rest of the time.
They could not get up the hill fast enough to go again. They even convinced Aunt Teesa to pull them up the hill. Ben said "we're sledding UP the hill!"
We ended the adventure with two snow angels...
Uncle Brandon was nice enough to stay home and keep Abbey warm. When we got back, all the kids wanted some time with Uncle Brandon!
In other news, Abbey is now 6 months old and enjoying a variety of veggies (so far, we have peas, green beans and carrots). She seems to like all of them. She went into the doctor and now weighs in at 14 pounds 3 oz. and is 25 1/4 inches tall, which puts her in the 20-25%. She is pretty close to sitting now and is really enjoying all her toys. She also really enjoys watching Chien...except when he licks her face. I am sure she will get used to it...
