Playing in the Snow and 7th Anniversary

These pictures are very unorganized as blogger wasn't cooperating while trying to upload pictures yesterday.. sorry.  We had a fun, last minute trip to Twin Lakes to see Grandma & Grandpa Mrnak this past weekend and play in the snow they got Thursday night! We were all very excited to get to sled and build a snowman, since we've only been sledding once this year and haven't had much snow by us.

Uncle Jon came to sled with us too so that was lots of fun; Hailey & Uncle Jon are walking up the hill after their sled down in this picture. (see-unorganized! oh well)

This one is after the guys and Taylor slid down this cliff.. the guys on their sleds and Taylor on her rear!

trying to climb back up

Taylor needed a little help! lol, cute anyway

Hailey was happy to just play in the snow and taste it while they played on the cliff

Grandma climbing up the steep hill

Aiden crashed on the way back from sledding so I laid him in the snow for a little while and we built a snowman :)  It was so warm out and he was snuggly in there, woke up the second I brought him inside. I should've stayed out there and let him sleep another half hour :P

Ben and I celebrated our 7th anniversary on Sunday and we headed to Lake Geneva out to eat and pictures on the beach. It was very nice!

Here's the sledding picture that should've been before the one of them walking up the hill :)

Aiden and Daddy going down, he loved it and said "weeeeeee" the whole way down every time and then a minute or so after that.. wanted to go again :)

We went to Gurnee Mills since Ben wanted to hit up bass pro shop, they were having some fishing extravaganza going on too. Aiden kept migrating to this fishing pole, he wanted it so badly. A little big for him yet! His Daddy is proud though, he can't wait to have a little fishing buddy.

Thanks for letting us crash your weekend, Ben only wishes he could've snowmobiled but needs something fixed.
