Winter Wonderland

The girls have been wanting to make a snowman for months. We had snow previously this winter, but it's never stuck long enough for much fun until now...

We got a lot of snow Sunday, on top of the significant snow we'd gotten Friday, and it seemed everyone was going sledding. Sophia wanted in on the action, but not having a proper sled or "sledge", we had to create something makeshift from what was in our house.

Bits & Pieces

A few photos I haven't put up yet...

Daddy took the girls to Central London to see Christmas decorations.

Fox at home in our garden (probably also the guilty party who left something there for us?).

Paper flowers Sophia and I constructed from a kit she was given.

Sophia calls this drawing of hers "Spooky Heart Race."

Alathea is 3!

The 4 of us spent New Year's Day (Wes' last day off) celebrating Alathea's 3rd birthday: fun & feasting! Thanks to relatives & friends for lovely gifts & cards!

 Thanks for the princess coloring pad, Titus & family!
