family times...

Having a somewhat recent snowfall.. Reagan offered to come and "shovel for you, Baby".. he has a new snow shovel that just needs to be worked. I'll always take offers of help, especially from grands... and so, they all came up to the farm for a visit, lunch and snow shoveling. I was sort of hoping he would do the stairs and walk ways, but he was more interested in "snowplowing paths around the front lawn"... why not???

"poor" little Cal is not very mobile yet, so, he got sled duty. Both the boys love to be outside, but Cal wasn't so sure that sitting this close to the ground, near the snow.. even if he is on a sled -- was the greatest idea. 

We tried to convince the boys to go for a sleigh ride...

Cal thought that was a bad idea....

Reagan preferred to shovel.... 

these boys are so much fun, and so very different from when I raised my gals.... that is for sure!!!!

"There we go buddy... the steps!!"

Reagan said he was impressed with our snow banks and the amount of snow we have. There isn't so much on the coast, close to the ocean... we often get snow, and they get rain or ice. So, he was pretty pleased we had so much of it on the farm....

We all played outside for the better part of the morning, then everyone.. including Charlie was getting cold.. so the promise of some lunch and hot cocoa brought everyone happily inside. And with the Christmas holiday so very close... I think that I have already had the most amazing present, spending it with the grands!!!!
