Fresh snow
11/365 The snow came back in abundance today. We were so happy!
One kitty-cat shoe on
10/365 Jayda found her kitty-cat shoe and wanted to put it on. How can you blame her? The girl has good taste. But we couldn’t find the other one. It’s hard enough to walk in bare feet. Walking with one kitty-cat shoe on and one kitty-cat shoe off is not easy!

Our ice-skating rink

Skate school
I enrolled the three big kids in ice skating lessons, and today was their first lesson. They were all a little nervous at first. But by the end of the lesson, they were begging to go back for more.
