SNOW

This has been a fantastic year for snow in the Twin Cities.  I am taking full advantage of the nordic trails around the area- one close by our house at the Highland golf course.  Leif and I have been skiing on Sundays at Como Park and then I have been out to the Battle Creek Nature Preserve for several morning skis.  It's beautiful!

The kids are enjoying sledding off the hill in the yard and going down the slide in our backyard.  The swings are nearly sitting on the snow it is so piled up.

Elisabet is our budding chef.  She heads straight to the kitchen after preschool to make Travis a sandwich for lunch.  One evening she asked to make empanadas and did the dough rolling, filling, and egg brushing all on her own.  Today she is helping me with some red velvet cupcakes for Valentine's Day.
