First Snow of 2012



Up at Langstons and Glassers ready for sledding

Tuesday morning after MLK Day we woke up to this scene! No school!!!

Sunny the Snowman- Dominic worked very hard on this guy.

We had such a fun morning in the snow. Family snowball fight (the kids and me against Vinny), building a snowman, snow wrestling, and a walk through the untouched snow.

 "Team Fortune" (after Dom said- "I have a fortune of snowballs!")

heading out for our walk through the backyard

Eating fresh snow was a favorite pasttime of the morning. Soon after we headed in for hot bagel sandwiches and hot cocoa for lunch.
