Outside

I could not keep these kids inside much.  They loved being outside, sledding, walking, playing, digging, shoveling, toddling, anything they could do to be out of the house.  Sometimes they were dressed for it, hats and all, sometimes they decided they didn't need shoes.  or socks.  or coats.  And for some reason, the way Abbie puts on her hat reminds me of Grandpa Kayser.  She loves wearing hats too.  And any accessories.  Except shoes.  Those apparently are optional.  All the kids were really good this year.  They wanted to go outside and play and it used to be that they would come in after 10 minutes.  This year they would go out and play at least long enough for me to make some hot chocolate.  It was great.
