Snow!

The talk of snow and sub-zero temps have monopolized conversation around these parts. The week of snow has been so fun!

Sledding down Snyder hill by the boat launch. School got canceled on Monday.

I call this photo "Ebony and Ivory". hahaha! We cannot figure out why Dae is a good 5 shades darker. We even took another photo to confirm and he is indeed way darker. Dae thinks it's the Korean sheet masks but I don't agree - they're not whitening masks.

Finally - the show was packable enough for a snowman! The rake arms were Dae's idea. As were the cucumber eyes that scare me. The Husky hat was my idea.

Brrr. I can't recall ever seeing a negative number on Richland's forecast. 

Advent glow-stick bath. Still a favorite. So easy.

Olin took this photo. I have no idea why Christian was sitting on the keys.

They slept like this in the guest bedroom a couple times this past week. Makes me laugh.

Well I don't know what to make of this, but Christian came up with this get-up at the Indian restaurant on Sunday and called it "Ninja" which is better than what I was thinking it resembled!

Annual cookie decorating at AJ's house. They last longer and longer every year, thankfully. They played outside and talked to Heather's horses and, after a while, I saw the kids running over to the play structure and eventually Heather pointed out to me that there was Olin, alone, staring at the horses for a while longer by himself. Lover of animals (and he's pretty much the only one of those in our family. ha!)

  

This is how they decorate Christmas cookies. It's pretty cute. These are Christian's. 

They got spoiled this weekend - they got to decorate gingerbread houses at home the next day. The decorating left a lot to be desired this year. Christian put like 3 pieces of candy on his house and a couple strips of frosting and called it good. He still gets excited to do it though so I guess that's all that matters!

Seriously this was pretty much Christian's finished product. He may have added a few more frosting strips and candy pieces, but not much.
