SNOW!

The hobbits of Michael Delving set their alarms and got up at 1AM this morning to go play in the snow. When snow comes as infrequently as it does around here, you gotta get your playing in when the playing is good!
The Mayor pulled Eejee and Seimi on the sled and by the time we had gone two blocks, Eejee was already freezing and ready to go home.

The instigator of said pelting
Our tradition is to load up the sled with snow from the neighboring church and bring it home to our yard.
The aftermath
Eejee aftermath - he sat so still on the sled that snow built up on his face
Cold but undaunted!
The scene in the entryway at 2:30AM today. Our apologies to neighbors who may have been sleeping.

Still snow left this morning!
