Once the storm passed, the sun came out to provide a pristine Colorado winter day.
The boys spent HOURS in their PJ's, Keith had work to do and Carrie went to run errands. With a day this gorgeous, Keith kicked the boys outside.
By the time Mommy came home, they were looking for reasons to come in the house. This included that they were hot, so they took off their jackets. They also said they were hungry, so we offered some of the sugar cookies they whipped up earlier in the week. This was all a great solution, especially once they rolled up some seats from the leftover snowman.
Kellan literally has something to say, nonstop.
He's still giving direction with hand motions.
Finally, he took a break for a cookie bite when Mommy said, "give me a smile."
Once we put away the groceries from Mommy's errands and Daddy wrapped up some work, we suited up for some sledding.
Daddy hooked up a train of sleds and we headed out for the upper park.
At the park, there was nothing but big smiles and blue skies.
WAHOO!!
Even Kellan was excited for some sunshine and sledding.
SOOOO HAPPY!!!!
We built a jump guaranteed to launch the boys as far as their hearts desired. Notice Kellan keeping a close eye on Oliver, behind the safety of Daddy.
Kellan even built up enough confidence in sledding that he was willing to ride down with Oliver. Keep in mind, the last time we went sledding he wouldn't even get on the sled.
Oliver LOVED this ramp.
The boys were getting staged and ready to launch.
We have even evolved to the boys walking back up the hill themselves.
After a great afternoon sledding in the sunshine, the sun began to set behind the neighborhood house, so we set out for home.
We sure are lucking out with so many great snow days during our Christmas Staycation.

We have videos to update of the great jump launch. I'll update those soon.
