How exciting is all this snow Division 8!?
I hope you’ve all been able to get outside and enjoy it.What have you been doing? Sledding? Skiing? Snowman building?  Kennedy wasn’t the biggest fan when we first plopped her down on our front lawn after school on Friday, but she became more comfortable playing around on our balcony afterwards. She had lots of fun when she got back out in it today.
