December Fun

Sam helping bring in our Christmas Tree.

We have had a beautiful, snowy December here in Minneapolis.  The fun news is the 5th largest snow fall in Minneapolis history.  The boys played outside for 3 hours while the snow fell and fell until we had over 17 inches of snow!  We shoveled, well mostly Chris and Charlie, 3 times and the neighbor used his snow blower 2 times to clear the snow from our corner lot.  

It looked like this for hours outside!  (Including Chris shoveling for hours!)


It's been a little difficult to get outside with Ben.  With 17++ inches of snow in the back yard he can't even walk.  We've filled the time with lots of indoor fun....Christmas cookie making, ornament making, and lots of play dough fun!  Ben decided to play "birtday" with the play dough.  He makes cupcakes with the dough and then adds as many candles as possible.  Last, he sings happy birthday.  We've now moved on to making play dough cookies.

The boys rolling out sugar cookies.  Notice the Halloween cookie cutters for Sam's cookies.
