Snow Day!!

We are on snow day #2 here in Madtown.  Yesterday, the blizzard dumped approx. 18 inches of snow on us.  Although it reeked havoc on the city, it sure is pretty outside :)

School was obviously canceled but even Fisch didn't venture to work yesterday. The day was spent cleaning, addressing our Christmas cards, wrapping presents, watching Christmas movies, baking, and ended with old fashions in front of the fire. It was a wonderful start to my winter break :)

 

This is what we do on a Friday night...

On Friday afternoon, we received approx. 4.5 ines of snow here in Madtown.

We took advatage of the heavy, wet packing snow and made ourselves a snow owl :)

And it's still standing! woohoo!

Epic Sledding

Last weekend our friends Jenny and Steve, originally seen here, came down for a night in Madtown.  We took them sledding at Elver park.  We lucked out and actually got about 4 inches of snow on Friday, which made for perfect sledding conditions! And out sleds didn't break this time! It was, dare I say, legand...wait for it...dary!

Wordless Wednesday: Snowy River

(Taken last Friday along the WI River.  There are few things I find as beautiful as snow covered trees.)

Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Some Serious Sledding

Last Friday, we finally got a chance to go sledding at the park near our home.  There is this gigantic hill there that I have been wanting to sled down since we moved in in August.  It was pretty much just as awesome as I thought it would be.  We obviously need to buy higher quality rides for this hill, though, because Friday we started with three and ended the night with only one intact.
