The Perks of Winter

25 January

Winter is definitely not my favorite season.  The frigid air, the necessary amount of bundling up to go anywhere, the crazy static hair, the slippery parking lots, the messy car...are all reasons to just not enjoy this time of the year.  

BUT, there definitely are some perks.  

 *Snow- from sledding to forts to snowmen, it provides hours of imaginative play. 
*Ice skating and hockey- a perfect way to get out and exercise and  {possibly} even have fun doing it.
 *Hot chocolate- Not exactly the drink of choice in the hot summer months, but absolutely perfect to warm you up after 
being out in the cold. 
*Indoor games with friends- After being outside and warming up with hot chocolate...nothing tops off a winter day better than silly games with friends, a fire, and pizza.  

So when I really think about it, I'm actually thankful that I live in a place where we get to enjoy winter.  
































{Claire loves to watch this game, but the thought of having a whipped cream face does not appeal to her in the least.  Hence the tiny amount of cream, and the giant sigh of relief when the hand didn't move on her turn}

  2. These are definitely good ways to enjoy the cold of winter! Looks like fun:). My kids would LOVE to ice skate in the the backyard! And Claire with pie in the face cracked me up! I have a feeling 1 or 2 of my girls would be right with her!
