Today was absolutely wonderful. We went sledding, ate too much, laughed tons, and had lots of fun with our family. I’d tell you all about it but they’re upstairs waiting for me so we can play a game.
I hope your Sunday was a fabulous as mine. 🙂

Life in the Bogs 
Sounds wonderful, Robin. That’s so nice! Looks like fun too.
Thanks, Marianne. It was great fun. 🙂
It was the first time we’ve gone sledding with our granddaughter.
This brings back a childhood memory of a day when me and my brother, along with my mom and dad (who have now both passed over) went up to my grandparents house on a snowy winter day. We took our big 6-foot toboggan with us. My aunt and uncle and three cousins also arrived, and the whole family gang went out on the hill and spent an afternoon sledding and having snowball fights. Sometimes the simplest pleasures are the ones that stick with us the longest.
I think it’s true what they say about the simplest pleasures, Osh. They are The Best. 🙂
This incredibly short post brought a massive smile to my face! 😀 It’s great to hear that your family are having such a wonderful time together. Those big candy canes in the snow look great! If only it snowed, here in the sub-tropics…luckily I can share the snow here, on this page, with you! 🙂
Keep enjoying your beautiful family. I’m sure you are cherishing every fun-filled moment. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. 🙂
You’re right about that. I cherish every moment with my family.
Oh my goodness, you’re playing in the stuff!! lol!!
and please don’t throw one at me….oooops tooo late!! …Serves me right for last time!!
Great photo’s , and I can almost hear the lovely laughter… xPenx
I think that’s what snow was made for, Pen. To play in. We gotta have something to do during the cold winter months. 🙂
Fun, fun, fun. We don;t need sun when we’ve got snow(balls).
Exactly, Bo! 😀
Sounds like a great day! I haven’t been sledding in I don’t know how long. STILL waiting for snow here.
Hmmm… I keep sending it your way, Karma. Maybe today it will arrive. 🙂
Beautiful scenario of a fun and happy day with the family, great pics
