it's ha
rd to believe spencer has never been sledding. he's five. how have we missed this pivotal part of his upbringing. no time to dwell on it. this morning we corrected it. christmas eve. it snowed about 7 inches last night. expecting another foot or so tonight. while we waited for santa and the impending snowmageddon we headed out to a local park. boy and dog. is there really much that can be said about sledding. its fantastic. fun. fast. reminds you why winter is magical and why it is great to be a kid. and that you don't have to be a kid to be a part of the fun.
the dog is obsessed with snow. it has been warmer than the usual minnesota frigidness for the past few days so she hasn't been picking up her feet in the usual sad "oh my goodness my paws are freezing off" way. instead she bounds out into the snow and tackles spencer. steals his gloves off his hands and runs off wildly. i think she would have fared well in the iditarod...if she could run more than three-quarters of a mile.
if there was a perfectly magical age for christmas i think spencer is there. he is so very excited. by the snow. by the prospect of santa. by holiday songs. by lights. by all of it. we went to the store to buy food to donate to the food shelf. and picked out a few things for toys for tots. we are attempting to instill a healthy balance of giving and receiving. and i think we are doing okay. it is just incredible to be able to see all of the magic again through his eyes. christmas morning should be spectacular.
