ice! i mean... snow!!!

well, we are in the midst of winter. omaha does nearly guarantee a white Christmas, however, it isn't like the lovely snow of utah (it is utah's theme after all- "greatest snow on earth"). this past weekend it was as low as -10 degrees and could get as low as -30 with the wonderful omaha windchill factor. add humidity and we have an awesome mix for miserable cold!

todd finally convinced me to bundle up and go outside to "enjoy the snow." i think the love of my life has forgotten he married a californian. :) we don't have a sled, so todd got a box and, with some imagination... voila!!!


we tried to make a snowman but the snow didn't pack. so todd made a pile with sheets of ice instead. i am so glad that he likes the snow so much. i am confident he will love taking ellie out in it as many times as she likes!
