Send Daddy to the store for milk...

...and he comes back with a sled.

On Thursday, we got about 5 inches of snow with a nice layer of ice on top.  It caused a lot of headaches for travelers (Had the smart Nanny not driven home from her Iowa sales trip on Wednesday night, she'd just be coming home today!) and Daddy was able to come home from work early.  Marie watched the "no" (Marieanese for "snow", remember we're working on getting better with our SN words) fall and the birdies eat from her pine cone bird feeders.  On Saturday, we needed a few items from the grocery store.  Daddy braved the cold weather and headed out for essentials.  I don't remember "blue sled" being on the grocery list, but I do know someone who was pretty happy the sled made it's way into Daddy's cart.

Not too shabby being pulled around the yard by Daddy.

Princess boots were also a Daddy purchase.

Even Ruby joined in the fun...although was a bit nervous about sliding down the icy hill.

Relaxing after her 20 minutes day out on the sled.
