Winter wonderland

We were so excited to get some SNOW!!  There was a little bit of snow in Russia... not much though!  (Our tour guide was saying it was the mildest winter she had ever seen!)  Plus, we wanted to play in the snow with our kids!! 
Ella was loving it too!!
When it snows, we break out the go-cart, motorcycle, sleds... pretty much everything we can find!!


The boys made their first snowman all by themselves!!  Jacob said, "Come on Gavin, let's use teamwork!"  It was super sweet.

Meanwhile, Casey was throwing snowballs at me from our play fort.



The finished product with golden coins, a sucker, and Jacob's snow hat!

Daddy taking the boys out for a ride!
Ella even joined them for a bit (and daddy went really slow ;)

 
It kept snowing...
and snowing...
...and snowing!
Casey's favorite thing was for us to throw him snowballs and he would chop them in half, saying, "Hi-YAH!"
This is our neighbor's quad... but Adam is sure trying to convince me that our family needs one!  :)
 Gavin's hair was cracking me up!
Sweet girl... feeling right at home.

My little Case!

Ella is teething like crazy... she wants to knaw on everything!
Watching all the boys play!
 Daddy definitely helped with this snowman.  I think it's the tallest one we've ever built!!

 Later that night, we came out for more fun!  All of the "toppings" had fallen off the snowman's face, so Adam created his own masterpiece.  ;)
 And Casey built his first lil' snowman all by himself!

 The icicles were shooting out everywhere from our tree... so beautiful!
  Love this icicle with my family playing in the background.


 A winter wonderland for sure.  The power went out over the next few days and that wasn't as fun.  ;)  By the time it came back on, our snow was all gone.  :( :(
