We looked outside and decided that's where we wanted to be. So we saddled up our puppies and got decked out in our winter wear.
Rick used this opportunity to tackle Katie...he did warn her first! I believe it was a cross between Jaws and a hup one, hup two - tackle!
Since it wasn't snowing while we were out, Katie improvised - for the sake of video, of course! She made it look like fun, so Rick tried it too!
While there were "snowing around" I made a 9" mini snowman. He is wearing a little green elf hat; not really, it's a Hershey Kiss! I know, you knew that! The snow was so soft he kept falling apart when I tried to add accessories - that's why he's faceless. (Certainly in honor of Wayne)!
Carlo made his snowman using a shovel and candy. (Looks like he should be saying; "I'm melting!" (or drowning!)
Yes, I'm standing on a snow/ice drift!
This is us down by the river. Do we look cold? I think we were! I own a hat, but they made me take it off. Trust me, good choice! I'm the only one that doesn't look silly and the only one that looks really cold - ha ha ha!
Rick and Katie decided to dance on the river. I was quite nervous with them on the ice...'rivers have currents, don't ya know?' But it was okay and of course, I worried for nothing! They also made an attempt at their snow version of skipping stones...flinging chunks of ice. The chunks didn't go far.
Then there was some resting that needed to be done.
After a bit of down time, the guys did some 'labor camp' type work. Hey, what's a trip to O'Wich if we don't do a little something? They hung the ceiling fan in the living room. What a difference it made. We got rid of the Titanic-ugly style and went with a model that matches the decor. Another good choice by the Decorator Within! I really need a show on HGTV!
We played Trivial Pursuit 1990...I think I slept through a big part of my life...I suck at this game, no matter what decade we play! We also played Apples to Apples and Catch Phrase. I love to play games and am excited that Rick and Katie own so many!!! We watched Miracle on 34th Street, the older version and the remake and we also watched Scrooged. We even got a game of Clue in. We stayed up late and enjoyed spending time together!
And, we enjoyed keeping warm by the fire!

OH NOO!!! Faceless Snowman?!? Scary, indeed - but not as scary as Carlo's "melted" number! As I sit under a heap of sweaters and blankets, that fire looks so delightful :-)
