Sledding and Building a Snowman

Mike built a sled track down the steps on our back porch. It is a thing of beauty. Good slope, nice texture, quality run. We are not talking luge track speed and danger, but it is a respectable first course for Ms. Ellis. While initially trepidatious, the Olympics inspired Ellis to give sledding a try and she took to it with enthusiasm.  (Some videos will be posted on the left of the page, including one sledding on her own.)

We also built a snowman. We mentioned the idea last night to her and she wouldn't stop talking about it. "Ellis build a BIG snowman," she kept saying.
