A Quick Catch Up

 The snow is here and the temps are in the upper teens.  This is good because now we have a reason to play outside.  Not quite enough to ski but hoping to get in some sledding this evening.  Merrick had friend over on Friday and Sophia was off sledding with a friend--they grow up so fast. Shoveling is still a novelty and the kids are dragging the driveway snow into the backyard to create a hill for sledding.  Initially this hill was in the middle of the driveway, it had to be moved but I gave them credit for a good idea, just not the location.  Sophia spent some time last night augmenting her ugly sweater for Christmas, the original version just needed some extra love!  So she knitted red and green yarn through out the black sweater.  Merrick shoveled the patio, and I had to chuckle over his continued obsession with shoveling, he has always loved to shovel.  The tree is complete and I think the shopping is done, this week we are going to try and sneak over to the Botanical gardens for a nighttime walk amongst the light displays. Then we will pack up our ugly sweaters and head to EC for the gathering of tribes.
