February 20th Snow Storm

We had a snow storm come in and we HAD to play in it....as well as shovel!

There was a TON of snow! This was the storm that knocked out power throughout the midwest!

I was lucky enough to purchase Ellie some snow boots the night before

(from the boys section, she didn't know any different)

These were my makeshift snow boots!

Believe it or not it worked decently well!

First impression:

Can you tell how deep the snow was?

She wanted to walk in the deep stuff that had no marks in it!

Climbed the big snow pile!!!

December 20

We had our first snow!

Fortunately we were kid sitting some friends kids while they were in NY and had an extra snow suit and gloves for Ellie to wear.

The wind was brutal! WAY cold.

And poor Miss Ellie didn't have snow boots to wear.

Needless to say, she lasted about 10 minutes outside!

=)

That evening I had a violin recital!

The first one here in Lawrence!!

All but 3 students showed up.

We are missing one girl in the picture, and of course the three that didn't come!

I think they all did very well and acted very courageously!

Two of them had a hard time getting up in front to play.
