Snow Jumping!!!

We were spoiled this first week of Willow's life to have my mom take a week off to watch Xander and Avery while Giles had the time off and we could get used to having an infant in our lives again! We weren't able to stay away from Xander and Avery for the whole time of course, so Wednesday we went out to visit the extended family a little bit and this is what the boys were up to in the backyard when we arrived! Thankfully we've had such a mild week that playing in the snow was given a new lease on life and these boys were certainly going to take full advantage of it!

After the fun of piling the snow (with the skid steer of course) the boys (Eli and Xander, that is) were launched over the pile in a big shovel! I don't know if these pictures are big enough to see everything, but you get the general idea!


Looks like Eli has a perfect feet first landing here! Getting ready for the Olympics perhaps?!?


Xander's doing the airplane move in the middle picture there...and then just letting himself flop around in the snow!

A HUGE thank you to Mom, Dad, Dustin, Julia, Eli and Jonah for caring for and entertaining Xander and Avery so well over the past week!
