Operation Storm Watch and Aunt Erica

Aunt Erica arrived from Oregon at the same time as our own Charlotte-sized "blizzard"! Here is Erica meeting Mary, who is currently quite a Mama's girl and doesn't want anyone else to hold her.
John woke up Tuesday morning to discover snow outside and that Aunt Erica had arrived in the middle of the night. How exciting! Watching her bundle him up for the snow reminded me of that scene in "A Christmas Story" . . .

John's first sleigh ride!




This is the rock in the yard where John likes to sit and think about matters.

Hot cocoa after playing in the snow!
