Longest.Winter.Ever

I am definitely glad that this wasn't our first winter in Wisconsin because I seriously think I would have had to reconsider staying here!!!  School has been closed at least 4 times due to dangerously cold weather (-40 wind chills), we have had more snow than I have seen in a long time!!!  I love all the snow, but am so ready for spring!

But, we have ventured out when the weather cooperates, to enjoy with winter wonderland.   We took the kids to a small sledding hill near our house and they had so much fun!!  It was a nice small hill but the kids had so much fun sledding, throwing snowballs, and making snow angels.











Aaron and I battled the cold and went to the Packer-49er playoff game.  I am so glad the cold front stayed back because the following day was -15 with -50 wind chills!  The temp at the game was 0 degrees, but thanks to some strategically placed hand/foot warmers and LOTS of layers, I was nice and cozy!!!  






We did attempt to take Elsa ice skating, but that was an EPIC failure.  She was crying hysterically getting her ice skates on because she said they hurt!  Never made it out on the ice.   I think I will buy some more comfortable ice skates and we will try again.
