The big snowstorm on 1/23 dumped roughly two feet of snow on us.  Luckily, we’d already procured snow gear for the kids, though we should have gotten a child-sized shovel for Blaine so he wouldn’t hog our single regular-sized one.  (BTW thank you to Mom-mom for subsequently getting him one – he loves it!)  Sarah was not thrilled to be out in the storm, but Blaine didn’t want to come back inside.

Once we did get him back inside, though, he loved this fancy drinking chocolate (thanks, Gram!).  I wasn’t sure he’d like it when I heard that he’d rejected the hot chocolate they had at school in favor of water, but I guess he has a taste for good chocolate.

And, here’s one more shot of Blaine in the hat…why not?
