Yesterday we had out third snowfall for November. We received about 4-6 inches, enough to go sledding. Even with the blustery wind and swirling snow it was fun. Everyone took turns sliding down the hill until their cheeks were as red as Santa's and hot cocoa was on every one's mind. I took pictures but something was wrong with the file so I cannot post them. It finally stopped snowing around 4:00pm and after several times of going outside the kids were ready to enjoy some indoor games. By the evening we were all tired (them from playing and me from trying to pick up after their many games) the house was sufficiently destroyed and they were ready for sleep. This morning we woke up to a beautiful day. The sky was such a beautiful shade of blue against the starkness of the white snow, it was breathtaking. We bundled up and headed outside to check out which animal's had been around the house. We found that a baby deer had been their with the mama within a foot from our back door. We also found many other tracks that I could not identify in the rush of finding so many. I thought our dog Scooby was going to explode 
from all the excitement. He loves to search out the animals, but is not allowed to as he is in the house and cannot escape to do his bidding. I then took the girls sliding down hill and today I was able to get some pictures. They enjoyed today better than yesterday as it was sunny and warmer today. Catbird (our little princess) is the type of sledder to bail out when she gets scared. But the wee princess (soon to be 2) is not scared in the least and laughs all the way down, then gets up and proceeds to try to drag the sled back 
uphill. She gives up soon and insists on being carried which is what wears me out the quickest. We had a lot of fun though. I then decided it was time to go in and decided to bring in the wood since I was already dressed. Wee princess and Catbird decided to join in. They enjoy helping out. We then went in and undressed and they decided it was lunchtime. We saw our friendly male cardinal at our feeder so I grabbed my camera and took his picture before he flew away. Here are the pictures of what I could capture.
