Get us outta here!

 Don't ask where the mustache came from, but Erin found it for her king costume
 
 Caroline's birthday party was at an indoor rock gym
 
 Even Tessie got geared up

but she spent most of the time bouncing on the mats

Caroline got the hang of it and could do some of the easy climbs

 This run was auto-belay assisted, but that's higher than either of her parents have ever climbed
 
 Erin showed some skillz
 
Caroline wanted a LoTR theme and we made cupcakes with the eye and edible toppers. Her choice: Legolas, the best climber of the bunch
 
 The last two weeks brought 2 storms, 4 snow days, over 3 feet of snow, and this was the forecast on Monday, with us in the 18-24 band. In the end we got about 16 inches and 1 snow day. To the town's credit they cleared it up overnight enough for only a delayed school start on Tuesday.
 
 There's 4 feet on the deck and another 3 on the roof. It's been so crazy cold that giant icicles are everywhere. Later the girls made me collect all those icicles for them as their "weapons"
 
Mom multitasked with Tessie, work, and fielding phone calls from family curious how the snow was hitting us
 
Backyard during storm #3
 
Erin and Dad dodged plows while playing in the giant snow mounds
 
In our hilly neighborhood some of the plows have chains
