Our First Snow

We had our first snow of the season this past weekend.  It was already a pretty crazy weekend, and this was a good reminder to slow down and enjoy things at the girls' pace.
So, after taking me to spend the day at an event at church, Eric came home and played with the girls outside, including building a snowman.

Of course, it wasn't all fun and games.  The heavy, wet snow knocked out power lines all over the city.  Ours went out about 9 am and didn't come back on until 20 hours later.  The girls enjoyed our dinner by candlelight, bathing by candlelight, bedtime stories by candlelight, and were in bed nice and early!  We were bundled up and stayed toasty warm, and were happy to see power returned when we woke up in the morning.

Yesterday afternoon we celebrated Thanksgiving with Friends...I'll post pictures of that soon!!
