super-sized family time

snow day #3 here.
I have honestly loved having everyone home!

sledding, hot chocolate, board games,
pajama dress code, long walks,
coffee, movies, Wii marathons,
sore parents(see above "sledding"),
no school - no homework,
using the field guide to identify all
the fabulous birds at our feeders,
ibuprofin (see above "sore parents"),
lots of popcorn, no alarm clocks,
snow angels, finishing books that were
simply waiting for some free time,
laundry, laundry, laundry...
good times



the aging couple before the aches settled in

Gracie LOVES sledding...
the faster the better


should've added "chiropractor" to that
pre-storm-bread-and-milk-store list
(my scissor-kick technique was a nice touch)

those darn long legs slowing down the air time

Quinn at least remained upright

Erin still manages to smile for the camera

at least Ali's fanny was padded w/
a few layers of clothing...

light-saber icicles


even the squirrel's gotta eat

warmin' my buns!

happy trails!
