More SNOW!

What a wonderful SNOWY winter it's been here in central Virginia!! After the foot of snow we got in December, January felt like it had to keep up and brought it's own foot on the very last weekend. Not to be outdone, February has started off with a bang dropping ~4 inches of snow (on top of the 4 that never melted from last weekend) and a few inches of freezing rain mixed in for good measure. The following pictures are from January's snow since we haven't been out in February's yet.

That Saturday morning, Tommy woke up still feeling a little under the weather from his cold and was obviously in no mood to take pictures. Daddy turned that frown upside down with a little tickle/wrestling match! After that, Tommy was back to his old self and asked to make a "choo choo train track." Out came the Brio tracks, a fantastic maze was built, and voila: a couple hours of quiet entertainment. Snowy Saturdays are great days for playing with choo choo trains.

On Sunday, Tommy was feeling much better so we bundled up and headed outside. We had spent the week before looking for a sled, but it seems that the city of Richmond and all surrounding areas are completely sold out! So we improvised and got out a cookie sheet :) It worked out a lot better than I thought! After spending about an hour outside, we headed back in for hot chocolate...and more trains.
