And the snow came! Friday we were sweating and Tuesday we were snuggled in the house trying to stay warm and avoiding the 40 mph winds, watching it snow sideways. When James went to feed the animals he found that the snow had blown over the top of the doors and inside. The animals we all safe and warm though.
I didn't get a video of the first time we let the horses out - it was much more entertaining, but here they are enjoying the snow and the sun.
Xander was quite surprised at the snow that morning!
Here is James after doing "burpees" with pushups in the snow - He's just a silly man :-)
We used to have 3 steps off the porch....

Finally able to make a snowman on Saturday. The snow melted just enough to pack better than the previous days.
2nd day of sledding!
Hannah went down the big hill all by herself! A big accomplishment for her - we are very proud!
And yes, that is James trying to ride a goat :-) Cabin fever can make you get very creative at times...ha!
Gabriel couldn't get enough of sledding!
Gabriel discovered that he likes to eat snow...
I just love these pictures of the kids together. It gets harder all the time to get a good picture of them at the same time!
After playing outside we had a picnic lunch....on the coffee table and in the laundry basket, like I said we are getting creative!
I hope that everyone else is staying warm and having fun with this winter wonderland! We are truly thankful to God that our power held up through the winds and cold temps. We enjoyed several days as a family with James staying home from work. This will definitely be a February that we remember. They are forecasting more snow for next week too.....
