First REAL snow day of the year.

 These guys were so excited to ahve a day off of school for the snow. And that we finaly got snow we can play in.  It was VERY wet - so why not build!

The Snow Lodge Came out nice!  

They can even get inside!  We've got a pallet in the back roof and some random board (that's not too structurally sound) in the front!

Two boys were burried in the snow and Adley hopped on top!!

Horray!!

Happy New Year!!

 What a wonderful 2022 we've had!!

Here's us 2 minutes before midnight...well some of us!

Our New Years Day began with church!

Then some of us went for a walk!

And some of us went to a football game!

Very Merry VT Christmas!!

 We drove up to Memere & Papa Kings on Wednesday for lunch!

We opened presents then enjoyed a walk in the woods and cleared off some downed tree branches from the sugar lines from the last storm.  We enjoyed playing games and a movie that night.

On Thursday we went sledding, went up Papa King's Tree stand - that we were able to take down, and enjoyed more games.  So Fun!

Dad went up and helped Papa King remove the stand.

The snow wasn't too sticky - but we were able to make a little snowman.

The Big guys split wood!
