So, our interesting winter has begun. We had one day of school back from Christmas break (enough time for me to get a couple hundred dollars of groceries and put them away) and then on Tuesday we had 2 inches of snow. It's also very cold this week. Since the roads didn't all get cleared well on Tuesday, we now have some everlasting ice to deal with.
School? It was cancelled Tuesday. Delay yesterday and delay today. All from 2 inches of snow. :) Kids are loving it!

PA trip
We actually took 2 trips to Chad's parents' house this Christmas break. 3 days before Christmas and 2 days after New Year-- this was our Christmas together.
Chad's gift to Taz-- peanut butter
Another wonderful meal by Anita
One of Micah's FAVORITE treats
Can you tell Jenna loves having her picture taken?
Katie LOVES these! Some Lord of the Rings figurines Dani had from many years ago.
And I LOVE this. :)
These are some of Claire's most favorite things in the world: paper, pens, and muffins
Micah's Artistry
Micah did this last week-- all by himself! To be honest, it totally shocked us. He rarely draws. If he's forced to draw something, he says he can't or he doesn't know what to do. Then, he suddenly starts drawing this picture of a rainbow, sun, and a palm tree on an island! He got the idea from a piano student of mine that drew something similar on the driveway months ago-- still, I had no idea he could execute it.
After the main picture, he added raindrops and the "specialist cave ever". He also labeled everything so no one would be confused.

Beloved Cup
Poor Claire had to say goodbye to her beloved water bottle. According to her, she had grown a bond with that cup, and she didn't want to say goodbye. Someone stepped on it, resulting in a large, sharp hole in the side. Still she didn't want to give it up. She thought maybe she'd keep it just for sentimentality sake. Poor girl has an aversion to change!
Jumping Crazy!
One of our Christmas presents from the Wingerts was to all go to SkyZone and jump like crazy! We had a lot of fun. Fun to jump-- and fun to watch others. Dani can jump like crazy! Katie was doing very well, too-- with encouragement from the teenage worker who kept flirting with her. :)
