a snowy valentine's day.

yesterday we woke up to 13 inches of snow!

it was hard to believe

but super fun and magical

until marco had to shovel it :)

lyla kept singing

'do you want to build a snowman???'

and was determined to do so

until she realized it was too deep for her to walk in 

so this is what we do when we are 

literally snowed in...

we make snow ice cream

i remember my mom doing this with us

when we were growing up

and thought it would be fun to do

with all the fresh snow!

tasty!

we bake too

 of course :)

heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies

and

banana cranberry muffins

poor marco

shovels the driveway 

for 6 hours

lyla attempts to play in the snow

savio and i watch

from the window

and savio eats my samoas...

...we craft...

and then it feather-snows...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
