Snow Day

Like everyone else this year, we've had a super mild winter.  We did see a very small amount of snow one day and the kids had a blast outside.  It was just the right amount to not become annoying.  It was really the first time the boys were in snow.  Luke took the plunge first...

 I dug through our array of snow clothes; mostly hand-me-downs from friends with girls.  Luke was in super puffy snow bibs that made it hard to walk and Gabe was in comfy snow bibs that were lavender.  Luke had boots but Gabe did not.  The girls were good to go with Ella being the luckiest of the bunch.  Thanks to my dear friend Krissy, Ella was styling in a matching Lands End snow ensemble!!! 

 Gabe was happy to stay on the shoveled driveway...

 My sweet sweet baby boys.

 Ella loved the snow.  She doesn't complain getting dressed, doesn't get cold, and finds plenty to do in the snow on her own.  

The kid is easy...

 Attempt at a family shot.  Love it.

 Happy girl.

 Family shot pre-Oliver.

 Falling apart...

 

Luke is our helper.  He loves to help Daddy do anything.  

He is such a sweet dear.

Lilly is like me.  She doesn't like getting snow gear on and she doesn't love the cold.  I totally understand!! 

 Sweet girl.  She was just sitting on the start of her snowman watching the kids play.

 Luke did not want to go inside.  He and Lilly rode around the front yard while Daddy pulled them.  

This is my most favorite snow day picture...

 Oliver had a blast in the snow.  He greeted every shoveler and played with the kids.  At one point he stole Lilly's hat and ran away with it.  The kids came in and dropped their wet snow gear and Oliver passed out.
