Let It Snow!

The boys (all 3 of them) had a great time at the YMCA Winter Camp. Rachel wanted to go too but we did not want to deal with a runny-nosed, cranky toddler in the snow for 3 days.

Notice Julian's bloody nostril. Apparently his nose crashed into a fellow sledder's foot.

Happy year of the rat!
