Snow at Home!

After returning home from a winter wonderland last night, we woke up to snow in our own yard this morning.  I was so surprised when I got out of bed and looked out the window and saw snow everywhere!  For a moment, I actually thought that we might get the first day back to school after winter break cancelled, but it doesn't look like that is now going to happen.  Oh well.  The kids and I did however manage to get our snow clothes on one more time this week and head out for a morning romp in the snow before church.  Although we have been playing in over a foot of snow this past week at Priest Lake, it was still fun to run around in our own backyard throwing snowballs at each other and building miniature snowmen.  I don't think that this white stuff will ever lose its excitement when it comes to town...


Lia armed with several snowballs ready to go.


One of the miniature snowmen that Ella helped me make complete with a carrot nose and chocolate chip eyes and buttons.


The cutest boy ever getting ready to throw his giant snowball.


Sisterly love!

Logan insisted on dragging our inner tube off the snow and into the play set.  I think that his original plan was to ride it down the slide, but that didn't work out so well since it's too wide to even fit through the opening to the top of the slide.  Oh well.  He still had fun sitting on it from atop his perch.
