snow, snow, snow...

and more snow! We have been staying home, it seems, for the last couple of weeks due to the snow, school cancellations, wind and cold. Last weekend we got over 10 inches of nice fluffy snow and it was sunny and warm enough to be outside. All the girls spent over 2 hours outside shoveling, sledding, sliding and making snowballs and snow forts. We got this really cool snowball maker that makes perfect round balls and better yet....it keeps your hands warm. It has a handle for scooping and releasing the snowballs so you don't have to touch them and your hands don't get wet and cold. Emma made all the ones above in the photo. The best part is coming inside for hot chocolate with LOTS of marshmallows.
