It snowed! Kinda

We got a tiny bit of snow, but amazingly, the kids missed two days of school and had two days of two-days late start.

On the first day, we headed over to Samuel's house to go sledding.  There wasn't actually enough snow to sled, so we wandered over to the park to play in the snow.

The boys built a snow fort and had a snowball fight (with whatever snow was left).

New Year's Polar Bear Plunge

Cecily decided that she wanted to do the Polar Bear Plunge this year.  Considering that her "comfort zone" is 69-71 degrees I didn't think she'd actually go for it. But I forgot about the draw of water for this girl.  She went for it and she loved it.

We got there about 15 minutes before the official plunge, that's Cecily pre-swimming in the water.

Parker was not-so interested in going in.

The, as per tradition, we destroyed our gingerbread house.
