Let It Snow!

Snow day!!!  We were all SO excited to get our first snow day yesterday (which has turned into another today!).  We had our first big snowstorm, with over a foot of snow.  The boys made a "fort" in the front yard, complete with a tunnel, stairs, slide and sitting area.  I didn't get a photo of the finished product, but here's them working on it.  I mostly wanted to capture how the snow piled up on each tree branch.  There's something magical about waking up in the morning, and it's still dark, but it's sort-of light outside because of all the white snow.  It was fun to be outside in the cold, play in the snow, then come in and get cozy with hot chocolate and marshmallows.  As long as we don't have to be out in it for too long, we really love the snow!!

That looks like so much fun to play in the snow. I miss it.

Love the new pictures... your family one and the ones of each boy on the side. It's so fun to see an individual of each boy close up. They are all so cute and are growing up so fast. Can't believe how old Mikey looks.
