Snow Days!

It has been about a month and a half since I posted pictures - unfortunately we were having computer issues for a little whie but things seem to be up and running well today so I can finally update on what the family has been doing.  During the second week of January, La Grande was fortunate to be hit by several snow storms.  While it creates halvoc for those trying to drive, the kids love it.....and so do I.  We had about a foot of snow within a day and a half so we took advantage of it.  Clara had never played in snow before so she was pretty amazed at all of the white stuff around her!

She was happy enough until she started getting cold.  Then she was done and wanted to go back inside.  She didn't quite know what to make of it all so she just stood there.  Then she started to cry so we knew she wanted to be warm again.

Emma and Samantha made a big snow fort in the back yard as well as a snow man.  They had great fun! 

 After the snow storms the temperatures dropped to the teens for quite some time. It took a long time for the snow to melt.

We sure love the winter months!
