Bob and I went cross-country skiing after breakfast around our neighborhood, and we had such a great time! A plow had come and plowed one path down each road, but he couldn't get all the way down to the pavement. This meant the road was like a perfect groomed trail! The boys couldn't believe we had skis down in our basement all this time, and they never knew about it. I think it always messes with them a bit to realize that we had a thriving life, with varied interests, before any of them came about, LOL.
I did bundle Faith up this time and take her out. As you can see from this picture, she was not impressed. 
But we kept pulling her around, stopping to talk to several of our neighbors, and eventually I noticed her head dropping more and more. Yes, she fell asleep out there! It must not have been that bad, LOL. She looked like a little princess, being pulled around in her baby sled. So cute!
The boys sledded and played a while, but we told them that in order for us to get over to the McC's house, where we had planned to watch the Super Bowl, the driveway had to be cleared. This was very motivating, but as you can see from the picture, they had a lot of work ahead of them! The snowplow came back to our street, and after he was pretty much done with the street and cul-de-sac, he came to our house and plowed the end of the driveway, where it meets the street. This was an immense amount of snow by itself, and I am sure he saved us an hour of shoveling! We were very thankful!
So we were housebound no longer, and we were able to go to the McC's house, where we had a very fun time. Christine even baked a cake--of course, it was a football one, but still! There were supposed to be 2 other families there, but they live in a more rural area, and there was no way they could get there. If they had come, however, there would have been 26 kids and 8 adults. We're a fertile bunch, LOL.
All in all, an absolutely wonderful birthday!
