Whaddaya know, more snow!

And it is lovely. It also means that the girls have had many dramatic rides home from Jia's bus stop. I pull Willa on a sled up a very long hill to Jia's bus stop. Jia gets off the bus and clambers in the sled with her backpack and lunchbox. Then we race all the way down down the hill to our house at the bottom. Willa always yells, "Faster Mama! Faster!" the entire way home. Friday's trip down the hill was especially fast and a great way to start our long weekend.

On Saturday, we saw the Yogi Bear movie and the girls went on a train ride.

That night our friends treated us to an extraordinarily yummy dinner at a Nepalese restaurant. As Willa proclaimed, "This food is DEEEE-licious!"

On Sunday, we went swimming at my parents' condo along with my sister's family. We all had a great time. Then we went home and made rice krispie snowmen!



I also had the girls chop up all the chocolate candy bars we'd acquired over the various holidays so we could make rice krispie bar surprise! The result: tasty.

Today, Susie and Han came over with Han's new doughnut maker!

They had a terrific time decorating them:

The girls and I also did a lot of outdoor playing today because the temp was finally in the teens!

My snow angels:


We made a large snow nest!

Complete with its own food supply!


I also pulled the girls around the neighborhood on the sled. Some of the sidewalk passages were narrow!

They pulled each other too!


What a great weekend!
