February did bring the snow....and the bitter cold.

Ah, February.  It is the hardest month in many ways because of storm squalls and just plain bitter arctic blasts.  But there can also be beauty in February.  So, the following tidbits are what we have enjoyed and been thankful for this month.

1.  We got to build our snow igloo!  It was higher and cooler than last year's igloo.  It was also not in the negative teperatures when we built this. PLUS!

 2.  We ENJOYED the snow.  Even Dylan, who last year stuck his toe in the snow and burst into tears.  Three cheers for growth and snow jumps!


 3.  Some of our snowfalls were absolutely stunning.  
4.  Even the dogs had a blast playing in the snow this year.  

 5.  There were so many animal tracks to discover.  

 6.  I got to play with my camera some more.  

 7.  We are super focused on school in winter, because no one wants to drive anywhere to do anything.  

 8. Ryan reading to me by the fire snuggled in blankets is pretty much one of the best things in the world. 

 9.  Dog snuggles while watching your favorite show are pretty sweet too. 

10.  Last of all, one of the best things about February is that the days are noticeably longer, it is the shortest month of the year, and the following month brings Spring.   So here's to eight more days of February!
