White Christmas and toddler sledding hills

As I mentioned in a previous post, we had a white Christmas. Here's the view out of our front door on the morning of December 26th. I think Cheyenne only received a few inches out of the Christmas Day storm, but obviously all of it landed on our front walk. I even shoveled the day before but you can't tell. So with all of the snow, we ended up with a great toddler sledding hill in the backyard. This drift went all the way to the top of our 6-foot fence. It was a great toy for toddlers and neighbor dogs who wanted to explore a new yard.

Here's a step-by-step guide for a successful toddler sledding experience.

You start at the bottom of the hill.

You slip and slide around until Dad decides that it would be much easier to just carry you up the hill. You get distracted by the tree branches and ignore mom and dad's encouraging words. "Come on Will, don't you want to slide down the hill? It's fun! Come on Will, Mommy's getting cold. Will get to the top of the hill right now. Do you want to come inside? You want to come inside don't you? Will, stop pulling on the tree branches. You are going to break it. Will get up the hill right now!"
You get into sledding position while Dad manuevers the expensive sledding device (cardboard box) that we have procured. Nothing but the best for you kid!
Wheeee! Slide down the hill. Repeat until your hands get cold and the novelty wears off. Meanwhile, inside the house, is the cutest little jail bird. Doesn't that smile make you want to open the gate and let her play with the stairs?
