Winter wonderland

I don't necessarily love winters in Minnesota. They are cold and long and gray and the sun sets at 4:30pm. Not exactly my kind of weather. But with three little kiddos (ok, two for sure) who happen to appreciate a little white fluff on the ground, what has been difficult this year is the lack of snow and the deep freeze in temperatures. 

So when the weather started to finally warm up, we took full advantage of it. Oh, that and the fact that about the same time we got dumped on with a foot of fresh snow. Coupled together, these kiddos were in heaven!  

I love that Lincoln has very little fear. From a young age, he has come wherever we go (the "take along child") and has embraced each adventure. He now is the one begging for more adventures and has no problem tackling the nearby sledding hill. 

I guess if it has to be winter in Minnesota, I might as well embrace it too.
