Snow Storms and Snowball Fights

Poor Aunt Denise - every time she comes down for a visit, it snows.  When she visited in October, she drove home in a freak snowstorm.  This time around, she got a taste of the terrible Connecticut traffic that results every time the white stuff starts to fall - seriously, Connecticut drivers cannot handle anything other than the most ordinary of driving conditions!  The good news is that during her stay, we got to spend some time outside with her, playing in the snow - making snow angels, building a snowman and having a lively snowball fight.  After the snowball fight erupted, Lee found that he had met his match with Aunt Denise, who was not afraid to charge him with snowballs.  As for the girls, they enjoyed hiding from Lee and watching him and Aunt Denise battle - they also liked it when Lee "caught" them too!
