Halfy birthday, Ellie!



 How many dads would go out in -14 degree weather to get supplies for a birthday cake?  I certainly didn't tell him to!  He was out the door and gone before I could object.

  Two little girls were grateful!





The big snow of 2014

May I just say that in a way I LOVED this weather?  It forced our family to stay home together, slow down, and enjoy one another.  How often is work cancelled and your family gets bonus days like this?  Quality time as a family?  Yes, please. 


 Waiting for eggs and cinnamon rolls is tough.



 Getting strong so that she can play outside.


 Everyone helped make the backyard snowman.  Well...almost everyone.







 Looking on from afar. 






 Now she did!  I don't think she could move in the thick heavy snow.














 SNOWBALL FIGHT!





Catching snowflakes

 Totally relaxed.
