Deep deep snow!

 Big snow piles are great for the imagination.  Daniel likes to be a mountain lion!
 Nathan Melanie and Matthew had a castle on the other side of the pile and had to defend it from bad guys!
 Jennifer couldn't manage the snow piles, so she just walked on the path instead.
 But it had some icy patches, which were difficult to navigate.
 Melanie made a snow dog-this is the first year that the kids managed snow men without my help.  Maybe it's because I just was unavailable, and the sticky snow opportunities were passing us by.  I gave advice, but that is all.
 "I'm cold now, Mommy!"
Jennifer is usually the first one back inside-and is very excited when someone comes back in to join her, and watches carefully to see that they are going to stay and play.

Love the kids imagination. It really struck me, in the photo where the three oldest are on the big snow pile that, how big they are now. Sometimes we think you have just little kids but they do grow up! We know that of course but that picture really shows it well.
