Some things we do in the winter

Here are some things we do during winter:

- put on coats and hats and gloves and boots
- take off coats and hats and gloves and boots
- shiver
- put wood in the woodburning stove
- put more wood in the woodburning stove
- try to load all the kids in the van when the side doors are all frozen shut
- dream of warmer weather

We do some other things too I guess.  And at least when there's snow Mike and Lena get days off from school which is fun.  And Lena and James make up jokes now that they think are funny, Bubby's take on knock-knock jokes is particularly amusing (see below).

Here are some videos of each kid and 1 picture of Cole at Ikea having fun:
