Deal breaker?  Our borrowed snow chains turned out to be too big for our tires, but the car right next to us had chains that were too small. We swapped chains with our new ‘friends’, happily went on our way, and swapped back the next day. God was totally looking out for us! 2012Dec27-700-2

It’s hard work making sure that 4 little people all have snow gloves, jackets, boots, pants in the right place at the right time, in the right size.

When you’re five years old and your hands are cold, it’s time to pack it up and go home:
