Snow Days!

In early December, we had unusually cold weather, with snow blowing in.  A week later, the same thing happened.

The kids were ecstatic!  Snow ball fight!

We also went out sledding...

It's nice for Daddy when the kids can pull each other on the sled.

As you can see, there was also freezing rain...you can see the sheen on the sidewalk.  It's not nice to walk on but very good for sledding.

Here is the house on a wintry day.

The next day, the car was still covered with a sheet of ice, which meant that in most of the area, no one could get to work and all the schools were closed.

Icicles formed in between our icicle lights.

There was more sledding...this time with Daddy pulling all four kids at once.

Making snow angels...

And taking a "forced" portrait.

In the evening, Karina wanted to build a snowman and an ice sculpture.  With Daddy's help, she got several large pieces of ice.

And formed a little snowman.

And here he is...he lasted for a couple of days before he melted.
