winter fun

we had some warm winter days after christmas, so while jason was taking down

the lights, the boys noticed that if they used his ladder, and put it against the oak tree

in the front yard, they could climb up! they loved being up there. 

i wish i got a really good shot of both of them in the tree at the same time.

then, as the weather got colder, the fires started. just like i remember growing up, they

are crazy obsessed with fire. so you can imagine the boys love having a fire outside with dad.

then we had not one, but two winter snow days! it didn't really snow, but got really cold,

had ice and sleet, and school and businesses were closed. we had a super fun day. made 

snowballs, drank hot choclate, had a fire, watched movies, and went in and out all day to
check out what the weather was doing. it was a really great day.
made me wish we saw the snow this year.

somewhere REALLY snowy...
