Winter with the Howells

I'm a little slow getting any winter/Christmas pictures posted. It seems like forever ago now! Is it spring yet? Ahhh, still January.

Nonetheless, we had a great Christmas season. Here are some highlights:

Max loves sledding but hates putting his snow clothes on.

Max got a toolbench from Grandma and Grandpa Greg and Di for Christmas.
It fits his personality perfectly.

We watched The Polar Express before Christmas with the kids and made hot cocoa and it was so much fun. We loved it mom! I think it will be a tradition. Max was enthralled with the train and sat on that pillow for a good 45 minutes at least.

We made a trip to Hardware Ranch. It was fa-reeez-ing.

Max could care less about the deer but loved the horses- huge!

We have a great backyard for sledding at the moment (a.k.a. no landscaping).

Max got pulled straight from the house to the dirt hill out back.

I was tempted to take Max skiing in this get-up!

Two more years and we'll give it a go.

If, by then, he'll put his snow clothes on without a fight of course.

The theme of Christmas for Max was trucks, tractors and trucks.

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Howell for the sleigh.

When he's not sledding, he's actually fallen asleep in it a time or two.

And he watches movies in it also.

Can you tell who's in charge?

Max was even content sitting in his sleigh before he knew what it was.

More trucks, tractors, trucks

Brandon even liked Max's trucks, tractors, trucks
