Carissa's 11th Birthday

Snow January 2011

It started snowing late on January 10th and I could not resists waking the kids up to play. In 30 minutes we got almost 6 inches and had a blast playing in the fresh snow. We tried to wake up Caitlin but she wanted to sleep.

We found lots of ways to play and enjoyed our breaks of hot chocolate from Mom.

We got really creative with how to keep warm. We had some crazy outfits since we don't have a ready supply of winter clothes.

Eli and the kids decided to build an igloo, They worked on it for 2 days and it lasted for almost 2 weeks.

This was our snowman from the very first night of snow. When the temps rose and sun came out, our little snowman face-planted it.

We enjoyed our week off of school but were ready to get out of the house!
