We had our first real snow (one with enough cold that there was no mud) since November on President's Day. Since it was already a day off from school, it was the perfect time to enjoy some Winter weather!
It was just a couple of inches, but it sure made the world around us look much nicer!
Two days later we had more snow. It was a beautiful day so I decided to give Samuel & Emma a day off from school. We are a few days ahead of schedule anyway. We went to Grandma's and spent the day playing outside in her yard. The snow was dry and fluffy- perfect for playing in but not really for snowballs and snowmen.
We went out TWICE!
Lucas's trick
Of course we had REAL snow cones!
The next day was a "wind chill day" off from school since the wind chill was -25! We continued to enjoy our winter weather but kept ourselves inside that day. Friday rolled around with another chance for snow overnight.
Saturday was the perfect snow for playing! It wasn't as cold and the sun was shining so the snow packed really well. The kids had tons of fun with snowballs! Dad helped them build a cool snowman!

They even met a friendly neighborhood dog who loved grabbing snowballs and sticks from them (through our fence):
Winter has FINALLY come! It may not last long but we are loving every minute of it!
