DEC 5: The weather Lately has been FREEZING actually, below freezing. We are talking high of 10 degrees. We got a big snow and it has stayed everywhere. But, the sun has been shining which is nice. Having the sun out makes you feel like you can be out too, just bundled up if you are. I trade babysitting with a neighbor so about once a week we get to have Dalton and Ryder come play (ages 3 and 5) and I knew we needed to get out of the house but stay indoors so we went to the Dinosaur Museum! I felt pretty brave taking 4 kids there by myself but it was fun and they loved it and had a good time. They spent at least 25 minutes digging in the sand for bones at the end.

DEC 7: We got to have a fun snow day. It snowed that night before and morning so there was plenty of fresh powder. We had friends over and drove around the RZR, pulled a sled behind it and the boys built a (fairly unsuccessful) jump. Caitlin loved sledding and Nolan unfortunately took a really long nap and missed out on the snow. Then we had lots of hot chocolate and warmed by the fire. That night we had a fun date night with the Hansens.
