Fun in the Snow!
We "loved" the snow storm on Monday...at least it gave us one more chance to go play in the snow. We always meant to get out and have fun...but it never happened. Jade wouldn't walk around because the ground was too unstable, but she still had a great time. Everytime we hit her with a snowball she said "Ouch!" then try to hit us back. We had a blast!
