Today we celebrated the start of a new year by taking a walk up into our snowy woods to have a snack.
There's a lot of snow on the ground right now, but it's not very deep in the woods yet. We didn't even need our snowshoes!
The kids did great walking in the snow, and so did Connor. 
They even learned about branch-whacking, which produces some great extra snowfall!
Eventually they remembered how much easier it is to ride behind Mama in the sled, especially when the trail goes uphill.
We found a nice protected area just off the trail, and broke out our snack supplies. Connor was thrilled with the idea of a snack, even though he wasn't getting any.
Mama brought sandwiches and orange slices--yum!
Of course the kids liked the hot chocolate the best. It's always nice to have a cup of hot chocolate when you're out in the snow.
It sure was a nice way to start off the year!
