Ice baby

We have had one wintery storm after another here in the mountains of North Carolina. We have had snow on the ground almost every day since just before Christmas last year. The ice has just now almost fully melted from the branches and fences in the last day and now we are gearing up for another storm at the end of the week. Our power was out for a few days last weekend so we found a few more functions for the woodstove ~ heating the house, hot water heater, and cook stove...
The kids have been able to sled right out the front door and we have never loved our mudroom as much as we have in the last few weeks! How else have we managed to avoid cabin fever?

finding friends to play with in the mucky mud

and lots of neighborhood gatherings (mmm, fondue)

How hard was it to not call the title "Ice Ice Baby". I couldn't have resisted!
