Let it Snow!

We had a great time in Boardman with Debbie and Ken just before Christmas. The girls were endlessly entertained by Pap as Mr. Napkinhead. They requested it every time we sat down at the table. Debbie taught the girls to make Jello cookies. Lauren was in charge of the green, and Sami did the red. They were delicious!


Lauren created some of her own shapes. She carefully chose a few of these to leave out for Santa the night before Christmas.
After baking cookies, we took a walk at Mill Creek Park. This picture was taken before the walk, although Sami looked exactly like this shortly afterward.
We started our walk at the old mill. It's a beautiful building next to a waterfall. With the newly fallen snow, the whole experience was breathtaking.



At the end of our walk, there was a clearing where we played in the snow. It was perfectly packed, and we had a blast throwing snowballs and building snowmen.
Ken played the photographer, but should have been in these pictures too. He was essential to the building process! Aren't the snowmen great? It only took us about 15 minutes to make these. Best snow I've seen in years.
