Christmas week!

Darryl, Melissa, the girls and Grampa arrived

Wed. the 24th. Grandma came the week

before (the day we got our power back.)

The kids got out of the van and wanted to head

right outside to play in the snow. We geared them

up and off they went. Melina and Jenna were

really excited to play in the snow.

Mr. Snowman

(he was completely melted the next day)

A long walk thru the woods - we had to

go check out the frog pond. Looks a bit

different in December than in July when

the girls come and stay for 2 weeks.

Found Garrets cabin that he and Corey are

making in the woods - pretty neat!

They played for a long time down by the stream.
making bridges with the snow.


The snow haulers.



working hard.




Melina and Jenna were amazed by all the snow,
it was so fun to watch the 4 kids have an absolute
blast together in the snow for hours - they couldn't
get enough of it!
