Hello Winter

 This is what November 11th looks like around here:

We got home from Jackson to some serious snow.  Poor Josh has been shoveling away.  The girls (and Blue boy) were loving it, so we took off to purchase snow boots and sleds and off we went to the local park.

The girls were both pretty brave and even went down by themselves after a couple of warm up runs.

Our newly purchased ski season passes are now burning a hole in our pockets!  We can't get up there soon enough and make up for lost time.

Garber Winterfest

Today the girls had Winterfest at Garber, their preschool.  I was told to dress them in PJs and show up at 10:50 to take them.  I really had no idea what it was, but it sounded fun.  Josh was able to leave work for a little while and come with them too.  It was a lot of fun - they had a bounce house, face painting, some "ice fishing", a couple of art projects, and a bunch of cars covered in shaving cream "snow" they got to dig in and play with (I guess this is why PJs were necessary?).

Josie got a penguin painted on her hand.  She was so proud.  Piper didn't want anything to do with it.

I took some other pictures on my phone, but found out later it was actually in video mode.  Oops. 

They also got to take home a cup of hot chocolate mix with marshmallows and chocolate chips.  Only its like 70 degrees today, so we'll be saving that for a day when winter actually shows up.
