Early Snow Days and Christmas Presents

This past week we had 2 snow days.  We were out Monday with about 3-4 inches of snow and then Thursday with 4-5 inches of snow.  This is much more than we are used to this early in the year.  I'm starting to think we'll be in school until the end of June!  Don't get me wrong, I love snow days, but we were just a week away from Christmas break.  Plus, I really enjoy my summers at home with the kids.  Anyways, here are some highlights of our snow days.

Paiting our sugar cookies.  Caroline just used the white icing!

So messy, but so fun!  We had to let her help.

Jack loves painting the cookies.

Some of the finished products.

At the neighbor's house trying to figure out her new snowblower to get rid of the 5 inches of snow on our driveways.  Who wants to shovel?  Tommy decided to snap some pictures as he was working from home that day.

We caught him!

Grammy and Grandpa came in this weekend to visit and bring some Christmas gifts.  Caroline loves her new kitchen and dressup clothes, while Jack was thrilled with his legos and remote control monster truck.  We had such a fun visit.

Checking out her new kitchen.

Didn't get any pictures of Jack building, but here he is (with the help of Caroline) to open his monster truck!

More pictures to come soon of Christmas.  We are expecting to get more snow/ice this week, so we'll see what happens!  Looking forward to 2 weeks home with the kids!
