The First Snow of the Season

It was this time a week ago that we were all snowed in...or I guess it's more accurate to say iced in.  We received an inch or two of snow, followed by some ice.  It wasn't much snow, but it was enough to make the roads in our neighborhood impassable for a few days (and enough to cancel school Monday and Tuesday).  Caleb finally got his first taste of sledding, which he loved, of course.
 

On Sunday morning, Caleb and I went on a walk in our own Winter Wonderland.  We took the trail down to the lake and back, enjoying following the animal tracks we found in the snow and playing hide-and-seek behind the trees along the way.  The sunlight shining on the untouched snow made it look like the earth was covered in tiny diamonds.  It was beautiful!




Our fingers, toes and noses were frozen by the time we made it back home.  
While the babies did come out in the snow every now and then, they mostly spent their time indoors.  But they still had a great time...
Riding their ponies...
Rubbing their food allover...
Dancing at the baby disco...
And getting into general chicanery.
Wren and Judson said that next snow they're heading outside to sled too!
