The backyard, just as it started to snow. You probably can’t see snowflakes in this small version of the picture (you can in the big one).

Kelly trying her hand – er, tongue – at catching snowflakes.

I try to reel in a big one.

Backyard looks a little different, doesn’t it?

Obviously, our roof isn’t normally white.

This snowball ended up on my sweatshirt about a minute after this picture was taken.

Now the snowmen look more at home, don’t they?

Our little addition to the snowman family. He lasted about an hour before toppling over the railing.

Later that day, we made our first fire in the fireplace.

Looks cozy, doesn’t it?
