Evyn's snow fort

The weekend before Christmas we got about a foot of snow, much to Evyn's delight. Scott and Evyn spent many hours outside sledding, making snow angels, eating bowlfuls of snow (well, Evyn did), and building a huge snow fort. In fact, they were still out past Evyn's bedtime, finishing up the fort/cave.

Before heading out, we let Evyn open an early Christmas present - a snow block maker. Andrew loved the paper!

Earlier this month we had professional pictures* taken of the kids with their cousins, to give to grandparents, aunts, and uncles for Christmas. It is (as Paul Harvey would say), the rest of the story, from our post, Snow Firsts.
