Winter 2013!

I may have already blogged about this, but in case I didn't - here is some cuteness!
 

I love that my closest neighbors are these two:
 

Mom watched the boys on MLK day so Aaron and I could go skiing!  It was FREEZING!  No joke, windchill was -10.  Negative 10!  But we dressed warm and enjoyed the peaceful, quiet day!
 

 

These trees make up for their lack of color during Fall by their gorgeousness in the winter:
 

 

Although mostly a family resort, you will find a few random characters at Crystal Mtn.: 

 

 

 

 

My brother took these two pictures from his job site on Torch Lake - gorgeous sun rise!

Snowy roads in town Saturday (by the airport) when we were picking out tile:
 

Total lake effect snow - the picture above was taken just minutes after the picture below was taken.  Sunny and gorgeous at the parents house, a few miles away its a snowy mess!
 

Austin hates walking in deep snow ("carry me mom!"  Ya, right!  Like I want your extra 40lbs sinking me further into the snow!), but he LOVES playing in it!
 

Brody, captain of the snow bank with his ice sabor:
 

Snow banks - Jacob is directly above Brody but all camo'd out!
