The Friday after Thanksgiving we got hit with an Ice Storm. I know these pictures of our yard looks like snow but it was frozen solid ice. Caleb played for hours and hours. He would go play outside tinkery around by himself. It was amazing the creativity he came up with.
Davis kept saying, "My first snow!!" (Because his first real one was the days around his birth). The ice brought out the sillies in Davis
We bundled Avery up a few times in her brother's jacket (because her jackets wouldn't fit over her splints)
Love these 4!
And this is how most of her time was spent, watching her brothers play outside
Her first marshmellow
Avery and Davis have a sweet game, where he shares his blanket with his sister and she just giggles
We went to the park and had some more fun on the ice
The slide was a blast

Love this silly boy
Beautiful ice on the plants
This is a cool picture...Craig is looking at the weather on his phone and it says 27 degrees with a look of disgust that we are out in it.
More silly boy
A LOT of entertaining indoors

We lost power for about 3 hours in the middle of the night on Thursday, we just put extra blankets on the kids and the heat was back on by the time we all woke up on Friday morning.
But then, on Friday night, as we were getting the kids to bed, we lost power again and this time it was for 20 LONG hours. We bundled up, put the stuff from the fridge outside, and kept warm with layers of clothes, hats, gloves, and tried to keep them all entertained. All Caleb wanted to do was go outside and play but we wouldn't let him because there was no way for him to come in and get warm.
We decorated our Gingerbread House and had so much fun.

Just as the power went out on Friday night, Caleb lost his second tooth. Surprisingly, the tooth fairy was still able to make it to our house in the ice and with no power!!!
Avery got a kick out of Daddy's Bert House Slippers and tried to kiss them
It was a happy, happy hour/evening when the power came back on. To have hot water, warm food, heat, charged phones, and so much more!! All those little things that we take for granted -- what a blessing to have electricity!! It was a fun weekend and we made some great memories!
