Winter Boots

I'm going to have to get some new winter boots this year.  The ones I have are still nice but they have a heel on them and I want to get something flat.  I was looking online to get ideas and saw the cutest Backpacking Boots.  Makes me want to take up hiking just so I'd have a reason to get them! :)  Lauryn will need new boots this year too.  Her snowsuit and coat were big on her last year so they'll still fit but her boots are way too small.  Sounds like we need a little shopping trip!
