Just Keep Snowing

The Alaska winter has not disappointed this year!  The snow just keeps coming and we are loving it so much.  Kabe and I built an awesome snow cave in the front yard.  It was big enough for both of us with a rear entrance tunnel.  I won't lie when I had to "mind over matter" my clostraphobia a few times - but it was really cool. 

The kids have also built a ride-able unicorn on the front lawn, multiple snowmen (some of them child-eating) and we have enjoyed hours upon hours of sledding.  

Seriously - winter is awesome.  I love snow!

First Snow 2016

Winter finally arrived and we are loving it!  

 Leisl has perfected the snow angel - but insists that the only way to keep it perfect is to not move when she's done.  She'll lay like this forever until I come and pick her up out of her creation.

Noah wants nothing more than to eat as much of the snow as possible.  He'll lay down with his face in it and just munch away.  Silly guy.  (we couldn't find his gloves so he's sporting his sister's pink ones).

Ksenya has figured out that if she is willing to get the little ones in their snow clothes then it's much more likely that I'll come out and play too (I hate the bundling workout pre-snow-play).  She is such a great helper and finds a way to look like a model no matter what activity we're doing.

Boys - need I say more?  They've found a dozen ways to love the snow.

I don't think he's quite loved enough do you?  How I love my winter herd - and how I am loving Alaska winters!  I only hope this one has a little more snow than last and that the wind leaves it in my yard long enough to play in.
