Festival in the snow!
It was below freezing and snowing intermittently the whole day. You could only stand to be outside for so long and then you had to find somewhere warm to unfreeze your face. I got to run around with my family for a while before I went to work. We started at the high school. Noni and Popi and the kids had pancakes and sausage and gravy. Aunt K. and the Nanny shopped the vendors for while. When Emma and Jenna were tired and cranky Noni took them home for naps. Eventually everyone else made it over to town and grabbed some food; including funnel cake, country ham sandwiches, french fries, BBQ and cheeseburgers. Once everyone had their fill of the events in town they headed for our house. I made them stop by the neighbor's to see his maple syrup operation. As it turned out, I left work and got home before they did.

We played games and chilled out till M came home and then we had pizza and birthday cake. Little M got to open her birthday presents while under the careful supervision of her little sister and her little cousin. After the party was over the crew bolted for the door. Emma went home with Noni and Popi so that M and I would be able to work all day on Sunday. Here are some pictures of the events...

Playing with the free balloons from the politicians.
