that’s me trying to get Cooper to shovel…he had no interest…although who could blame him…it was hard enough for me to shovel the snow over the 4 foot banks!!

he would rather eat the snow….don’t worry, he knows the rules…ONLY white snow.

That does look like a great snow hill! Love the pictures...I'm not usually a fan of winter...but I have to say, I'm enjoying all this downtime inside!
You guys got a TON of snow! The last 2 days we've had 2hr school delays...but that's it. I want more snow so we can get a real snow day!!

Wow, you deserve those pieces of cake. All that snow fun sure must have burned some calories!
