In my attempt to get "caught up," I'm going to back track to the beginning of the year! We enjoyed a week of snow in January. When it snows here, the park shuts down and that means the rangers stay home from work, and we have a beautiful winter wonderland all to ourselves! I remember 3 years ago when it snowed 18in. (extremely RARE here at sea level) and I was super prego with Esther, I snow-shoed out the the pier and couldn't believe it! It was so much fun.

| The kids cut out snow flakes a week earlier, hoping for snow and then it came! |
 |
| Snowman Pancakes, of course! |
Home Sweet Home!
Not much snow yet, but we took a walk on the pier with the Cookseys, our wonderful neighbors and friends!
Walking through a field of white with Daddy.
Soren said he was looking for cougars. He continues to look even though he's been told many times there are no cougars on the island!

 |
| I don't know who could LOVE snow more than Grace! |
 |
| Eden and Lillian LOVE to be together! |
 |
| Soren and Miriam are inseparable |
 |
| Esther didn't look too happy after this crash with Daddy |
 |
| Later, we went to Grampy's neighborhood for some sledding. Nice view, huh? |
 |
| Grampy and Soren landed in the ditch! |
 |
| Grace caught some serious "air!" |
 |
| Moms can have fun too! |
 |
| Earlier the girls had done some baking. We arrived home, cold and tired...ready for some pie! Grace made the crust and Lillian made the apple filling... |
 |
| ...and we sat by the fire and filled up our bellies! |
 |
| Grace and her pal Gina (thought these were above the food/fire photo--oops!) |
 |
| Livy and Lilly...dear friends! |
