Chocolate

Because the only appropriate follow up to snow is hot chocolate

(of course, not too hot, but still sugary and delicious)

Must be a special occasion

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Sledding

Turns out Noah is old enough to actually sled. Chad took him to the nearby elementary school and he was awesome.

Birthday Party

We had a princess and knight birthday party to kick off the party season. There was diligent preparation...

We transformed our door into a castle

But then we were ready to party

And the collaboration of knights began

Silly boys

It was quite the scene

Happy kids

There was a fire-breathing dragon cake, which was only confused for a drunken alligator occasionally

mmmmmmm alligators

and there characters are off to play some more

Yay Birthdays!!

Blizzard!!

So we had a bit of snow...

And it took us a while to dig ourselves out...

It wasn't so easy for the grown-ups to walk

but we cut through eventually

It was awesome to see Noah managing the deep snow so well

 

Then we had to actually dig ourselves out and find the car. I thought I had left it in the driveway somewhere...

Oh, there it is, thanks Eva!

Best weekend snow ever. :)
