baby, it's cold outside ...

Depending on how you look at it, either a highlight or lowlight of living in Victor is the amount of snow we get.  We got pounded with a huge storm about a month ago and I have never seen so much snow in my life.  Hayden absolutely loves it, but I may sit on the other side of the fence!  Since that huge storm, we have continued to get more snow and I am beginning to wonder if it will ever be Spring around here.

Nate built Hayden a fort with a drop down hole and he has played in it incessantly.  He sure is a snow baby!  He loves to throw snowballs, go sledding and skiing, and help dad shovel.  Seeing his joy makes  winter a little more tolerable for me.  Cora also loves to go out and play (she calls it "wanna go skiing") but usually only lasts for about 15 minutes.

The wind blew so much during the huge storm that the next morning, we had drifts in our backyard that were 6 feet high.  Hayden went skiing in the front yard and the kids loved sledding in the back yard.  It was pretty crazy!

A lot of inside play has also led to Hayden's imagination soaring.  He is such such a cute kid and keeps me laughing every day.  Thank heavens for Lego men, a bow and arrow, and Tinker Toys.  They keep each day interesting.

The dress up bug has also bitten Coco and she wanted her own cape just like Hay's and wears it every day -
even while we are trying to leave for church.  What a funny little bug!

Wow Kate, that is an insane amount of snow. I am not jealous! But your kids are still as adorable as ever. I'm glad you're doing so well. We still miss you!

I can not believe that snow! Miss your sweet kiddos and of course you and Nate! They are just getting bigger and cuter as time goes! I'll pray for a quick meltdown and spring to be on its way for you! :)
