Playing in the snow

We got more than just a light dusting of snow!

We dug out the winter gear. Thankfully there were pants to fit everyone.

The kids loved playing and pulling each other in the sleds. And they warmed up with hot chocolate and chocolate-chip scones when they came in.

We had a storm with a fair amount of snow. The kids had about two days of playing with the powder before it iced over with freezing rain. They built a mini hill for sledding off the patio and did a lot of tromping around. Eating the snow and icicles was also a highlight. And, of course, when you come in from the cold, you have tea or hot chocolate and a snack.

The snow was perfect for packing today. The kids had fun making a snowman and snow fort and watching Mark use his snowball slingshot. And I made this little Finnish snow lantern.
