What is it like to live in Antarctica? Let me tell you!

Mother nature has most definitely made a mistake....I don't live in the Arctic circle, I live in West Michigan...not even the U.P. so why is there several feet of snow on the ground? I have no idea but I can say that we have had enough of this SUPER COLD weather!

This past weekend we finally got a break from the wind so that we could take Nathan out to play (if 20 minutes really counts as play). We got him all bundled up in his cold weather gear and hit the front yard for a little sledding.

Dave and I took turns pulling Nathan through the 6 or so inches on the sidewalks and driveway....the snow is way too deep in the yard for pulling sleds.

Nathan wasn't really sure what to make of the all the snow but he definitely loved being pulled in the sled.

It didn't take long though for his checks to get pink and cold so we had to go in....at least we got 20 minutes to experience what life might be like if we were penguins though.

Oh yeah, he can rock the snow pants and moon boots

Not quite sure what to make of his sled but still having fun

Mom! It's too cold out here, take me inside!

Finishing off our Christmas season...

Our final 5 Christmases went by very quickly so I am simply going to post some fun pictures that show where we were and who we were with. Enjoy! (I don't have any pictures from Christmas afternoon so if someone can email some to me it would be appreciated!)
