Snowmen & Snow Forts!

On Saturday, the snow was much more packable than on Friday, so Lily & I headed out to the backyard to finish our snowgirl!

Then we headed to the front yard, where the boys were to make a snowman.

The boys were hard at work on their snow forts!

They could get pretty far into them!
Here is our snowman in the front yard:

Lily was sad that he was falling apart, but as of this afternoon, she is assured of more snow, so we can build them again!

The BIG Snow of 2013!

We have had a ton of snow over the past few days! It started Tuesday night and by Wednesday afternoon there were several inches in the backyard! The kids were ecstatic!

Jeff came out & threw a snowball at the kids, but he wasn't really dressed for playing in the snow, so he ducked back in when the kids tried to get him.

After that, he got dressed & we had a big snowball fight in the backyard!
Then, this morning there was more snow! We had 11 inches on the deck!

We had promised the kids we would go sledding, so we went to the park by our house to sled down the big hill!

This evening, we played in the front yard while Jeff cleared off the driveway. I love this picture! Zach is very unaware of what Riley is doing while he is posing for a picture:

Ha Ha!
Lily tried to catch snowflakes on her tongue:

While the boys were digging tunnels:

Lily was throwing snowballs at Jeff:

So he threw snow at Lily with the shovel. ;0)

And of course, no snow day would be complete without snow angels!



The kids get another snow day tomorrow, so we are planning on doing a snowman!
