Cold winter idea #1: let your kids empty out a cabinet and play in it with their stuffed animals!
We'd been planning on going to a community "Family Fun Night" at a local community center. The kids were so excited for it. When we showed up for it they told us they cancelled it because of all the snow! Ugh.
Sad Sophie.
Sad Nora.
Miles didn't seem to care either way.Our back-up plan: Banana splits and Frosty the Snowman with our neighbors, then sleeping under the Christmas tree! We pulled a mattress into the living room and me and the girls slept there and Brian slept on the couch. Brian is obviously still catching up from his all-nighters because he fell asleep first! A fun time was had by all.

You guys are such fun parents! That sounds like a blast!
You guys are so much fun!! I want to be like you when I grow!!........ Oh wait.... I am a grown up! That stinks!
What a great mom you are! So many mom's would think it to much of a bother and a bad thing to let there kids play in a cabinet. I really admire you and your patience and love and understanding of what kids need. Great pictures. Grandpa John
You are such a sweet mom. Your children will remember the insides of those cabinets...mine do. I love the dancing pictures below. I especially love the pouty shots. Didn't you sleep under the tree as a little girl?
What fun you guys have been having. School was cancelled all week last week because of the 2-3 inches of snow that we got. Even when it was sunny for the next two days, it was still cancelled, because the roads weren't all clear. There are NO snow plows in Oregon apparently and the snow just turns to ice the one or two times a year that they get an inch or so. Unfortunately its been much worse the 8 days. Just a very different experience from Utah of course.
Sounds like fun! Remember turning on the radio every morning to see if school was canceled? You kids were always hopeful, even though we right thru the field from the school! The kids look like they are having fun, mostly! Sorry your plans got cancelled! Sleeping under the tree was always a fun time! It is always fun to hear of the traditions passed down! Love you much! Kiss the kids PWEASE!
