Let the Snow Begin

First snow of 2014, and it was a good one!

Jon, extracting the van from the snow: 

(note that he is wearing Seth's hat--Seth's head is so big we had to go to adult sizes.

Yay for Mikesell heads!)

Aaron also braved the cold to join the family fun: 

He lasted about 15 minutes.

Nothing like a good snow to break in new coats.

Pink for Princess: 

Blue for the Seth Man: 

Bitter cold makes excellent sledding snow: 

Much to my surprise, Catherine actually got back on the sled.

Repeatedly: 

When I say it was cold, I mean it was COLD.

For example, bubble blown on our deck? 

Shattered: 

Still not quite as bitter, terribly cold as Iowa/Illinois, but not a temperature I enjoy!
