Winter...

is almost over, and it finally decided to show up here.  

While I might not enjoy the cold and snow, the kids have been having a blast sledding, building snowmen and having snowball fights.

Hiking through the woods during the first snow.

Gotta make sure the birds get enough to eat.

The boys' masterpieces

 We had a winter storm this last week.  About an inch of freezing rain that eventually turned to snow.  Everything was iced over and then covered with snow.

  

The kids had so much fun out in the snow.  The woods are full of their trails and attempts to slide down the hill.

And of course I got out to enjoy the snow =)

And after a day out in the snow, hot chocolate and curling up on the couch in front of the fire to watch a movie with the family.
