This post and the next one on the blog will differ slightly due to our almost 2 week absence from here while on a road trip/vacation to Texas and back. The following photos are from the days just before we left home. Enjoy!

We had 2 ridiculously warm for January in Illinois days, and stayed outside as much as possible:
Charlotte gathered enough sticks that she could build a campfire, according to her:

The next day (which was even warmer, getting into the mid 50s), they marched around with a long stick:

Charlotte made a snow angel:
Ruby prefers to eat snow (we have warned her about ingesting any snow that is not white):
After a brief snow fight with Grandpa Jay:
