A good 'ol Minnesota winter

This is how I remember winters being when I was a kid. Lots and lots of snow. So much snow that we would make tunnels, and forts with a whole stock pile of snowballs waiting to be thrown. I remember snow piles so high we could barely see the houses across the street. I remember the snow being so deep that our moon boots would get stuck. We would try and follow in each other's footprints so we wouldn't end up waist deep.


I've been loving all the snow we've been getting this year. It's so pretty and sparkely when the sun hits the snow. It looks like diamonds have been strewn around. And I love it when the trees look like they have frosting on them.


As we woke up Christmas Eve day the snow was falling again. I went outside and took some pictures of our house in the snow.





Summer's dance class

Summer took a dance class at the beginning of the school year. She decided not to continue the class even though she did had fun in it. She told me that doing plies was boring. But she still loves her gymnastics class and has chosen to continue with that. They did a little performance on their last day of class which was on November 18th. Grandpa got to come and watch. Here are some pictures from that day.
