Snow Days

It's more snow for us in the twin cities, and I am so glad...

The old snow was really frozen and slippery and hard. And yucky and ugly. 

Now it's all white again, and only a little icy on the roads and sidewalks.

Not to mention G likes to throw snowballs at me on our way out or in from the car, 

any chance she gets, she's throwing them as fast as she can.

She's a pretty good aim for an almost 4 year old, which is why I am happy it is now clean, soft snow!

And my winter season is not complete 

without paper snowflakes hanging inside

Honestly, I take great pride in my paper snowflakes- except for that lame 4 pointed one!

(Forgot how to fold the paper on my first one this year...ahem)

My Aunt Kathy used to make immaculate paper snowflakes with me when I was younger, she died from cancer about 10 years ago. Every year I make at least one paper snowflake, and remember her hands as they carefully carved out incredible designs. 

Mine are still not as good as hers, but I'm working on it :)
