It snowed four inches last Monday. This was enough to close schools and keep our family at home through Wednesday. On top of that, Kieron and I were suffering from a cold which Avery had just passed on to us. We managed to get out sledding and stomping around in the snow anyway. We had snowball fights, made snow angels, and even tried to build an igloo, but the snow was too dry. Then we sipped hot chocolate, put up Christmas decorations, and watched The Grinch and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The snow certainly put us in the holiday spirit a little early.

Fortunately, the roads cleared up just in time for Thanksgiving. Nana and Grandpa drove up to celebrate with us. We enjoyed a delicious feast, the highlight of which was Jonathan and Avery’s amazing pumpkin cheesecake!

“To the hill!”

Notice the matching hats
