First Snow!

We have had the most mild winter this year! It is crazy when we compare it to last year in Chicago, or even last year here. Every time we came to look for houses last January/February there was at least a foot of snow everywhere and very cold temperatures. This year, November and December were super warm without a single snow and January hasn't been all that colder. The kids have been disappointed because they love the snow!

Finally on January 10th, we got our first snow. Unfortunately, we only got an inch or two, but it's better than nothing! I keep thinking we're going to get a big storm sometime, but now we're into February and we still have never gotten more than that. The kids enjoyed playing in it anyway though and we've really enjoyed playing outside on the warm days too!

This was a few days later, when it warmed up and was mostly melting, but Connor and Anna still had fun with what was left.
 They were launching snowballs on to the trampoline, trying to get them all the way across.
