Winter Wonderland

Well, we were snowed in last weekend with approximately 6-8 inches of snow with 1/2 inch of ice in the middle. We got the first half of the snow Saturday morning, followed by ice and rain and then the remainder of the snow. Needless to say the streets were a mess and several schools (including ours) were on two hour delays at the beginning of the week. (For my Phoenix family we were having highs in the mid 20's with 30+ mph winds, making the wind chills barely in the double digits! - So no complaining about your "cold" 60 degree weather!)

Aly got her boots on and thought she wanted to go outside until Matt opened the door and she said "It's too cold!" So, we spent the weekend inside by the fire! Aly and I also made a gingerbread house....

While decorating, Aly discovered that she really liked the gumdrops!
I'm not sure what all she "tasted", but Daddy caught her looking like this...

The final product...

(Note: Aly did the sidewalk by herself after I said I thought it needed one. She also added the gumdrops along the back, they are flowers!)
