Snowy days(week)!

The puppies(Liea, who is now 2, December 18th. Lucy, who turned 1 in October) trying to get to Eliza and Steve.
Just an idea of how much snow we got over the last week. It snowed about a foot and a half on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday we got about 2 or 3 feet and then rained for about 6 hours. Then it started to snow again and we got another 2-3 feet. Oh the fun. I have to admit, I love it. I am at home with my family and no where to rush off to. I made soup and cinnamon rolls one day. We have played games, made a bunch of crafts, played in the snow and shoveled the walk and drive way about a gazillion times.
Just to give you an idea of how much snow that is, Steve is walking in the street right in front of our yard.
Eliza taking a break.

Steve with Spencer on his back. We went out for a hike. The kids had their friends over to play for the day. It was on Thursday. Steve's work shut down for 2 days. Yeah, I was so happy to have him home. Back to the hike. We decided to go out in the snow and hike their friends home. To bad at that point it started to rain. However, since we we're all ready to go, we hiked them home anyways. Even though it was wet, it was a lot of fun, no complaints. Spencer was having the best time. Every time I looked over at him, he was smiling away. Of course for those of you who have met the little guy, he always smiles when you look at him.
Spencer, before the big hike. Smiling, of course! OK, I know i am his mom, but seriously!!! How cute is he?
Dallin, with his buddy Taige. This fort was built on Tuesday. They used these huge boxes we had, and duct taped them to the stairs and the rest of the entry way. We had to negotiate the length of time it could stay up. The kids voted for, forever. I said a week and a half, I won.

Dallin and Taige out in the back yard in the snow on Thursday.

Spencer, looking oh so handsome in his little mohawk.
Eliza and Dallin in the fort. They have been playing in there, eating in there, even sleeping. This really has been a very fun week.
