A night out for snow.

I heard about a holiday festival this week nearby in B*. The proclaimed 30,000 lbs of snow was divided into two piles, "6 and older" and "5 and under." Here are the kids waiting in line for about half an hour . . .

Kids exploring the white stuff and parents using the digital stuff. Each group got about 5 minutes before they had to rotate out.
Thankfully, she liked it!
Here's Simon chopping away at his contraband chunk of show.

They loved their night out after dark, looking at the lights as we drove, seeing snow, sipping hot chocolate, and getting free balloons.

I skipped going to see Santa. It had another big line, and I was on my own with the double stroller and the belly (Mark was bummed to be at work preparing a big presentation). Glad to hear that Santa will be at our ward party though--that's the way I always saw him as a kid.

Good night, and good luck, and welcome back to my blog. Sorry about the hiatus, and enjoy checking out all the other stuff I've posted below. It's good to get it off my chest.
