And then it snowed....

Our weekend started off on an awesome note: we made our annual pilgrimage to the Christmas tree farm.  We always have so much fun there, and this year was no different:

On the hunt for the perfect tree:

Plowing through all the evergreens: (can I just say how much I love this shot!!)

Chopping down the tree: (darn blogger, can't rotate the picture!)

Chris and Marin headed off for some sausages and onion rings:

While Shannon & Aidan were content with Rice Cakes (I know - rice cakes. How lame is that?!?!)

Then we rode the choo choo over, and over, and over... (I'm bitter because I thought I took this amazing video of the girls giggling on the train, and instead I just got this picture.)

Aidan after he slid down the sand hill a few thousand times:

Quinner on the zip line - they had to lift him up so he could be attached!!

Here is the finished tree at home - pretty perfect I think!

On Sunday winter arrived with a vengeance.  The snow started falling, and kept falling for HOURS.  The boys were out building and destroying:

This morning the city was pretty much shut down due to all the blowing snow.  It made for a beautiful wreath on my door though....

 

This is a shot outside my kitchen window.  I thought the basketball net and play set looked pretty cool:
