I brought buckets of snow up to the 2nd floor bathroom for Reed to play with one morning while Beckett and Theo were working on school. I dyed some of it purple and pink and had some measuring cups out. That kept his attention for a short time, but soon Beckett thought up a better game. He went outside (it was pretty mild that day) and stood outside the bathroom window so Theo and Reed and I could peg him with snowballs. Occasionally he got some snowballs in through the window at us, too!

 

Getting back into the swing of a Syracuse Winter

Indoor pursuits like youtube workouts, playing with remote controlled cars, giving blood, and organizing cabinets and drawers....

A very beautiful but very MUDDY Chimney Bluffs hike along Lake Ontario.

 

Christmas Day

 

Christmas Eve

The first gifts of Christmas, opened on Christmas Eve night

Another Christmas Eve tradition: gathering around the piano. This year Theo played us a few Christmas songs first before Grandma Joanie took over.
