Even more snow fell on Thanksgiving day, and my children were determined to take advantage of every flake.

Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Hence the dump-truck-turned-sled.

Keziah (18) was content just to watch.

Until I convinced her she had to try sledding. Just once.

As I was up every two hours last night with my sick baby boy, I was able to watch the snow recede. A Chinook is upon us, and it was so cool to watch how much grass appeared and snow disappeared in two hour increments. Our yard is now a slushy, icy mess. With green grass poking through.
