First snow day

We had our first fall of heavy snow. Our newly finished backyard (the whole wall recently had to be moved in 1.5 metres due to fire department regulations...) looked quite pretty with a coating of snow. I took these photos at full zoom standing on the top step in my slippers. Clearly I wasn't committed enough to enjoy the moment.


Keira has been adamant about choosing her own clothing lately. She insists on skirts or dresses and I insist on pants. So this is the compromise we worked out on this particular day! She is having fun making a snowball.


Chris taking a bit too much pleasure from slamming snow balls into Alesia....I think he is missing his brothers.

To give some context, this is where I was the day before the snow - 9 hours drive south in the sun in the Gobi desert.
