Snugglebugs and Snow

It seems that this month has been a seesaw between snuggling inside to avoid the subzero temperatures of the latest cold wave of the week, and rushing to get outside to play or do something, anything, when the temperatures rise enough that you can just about manage (provided you have about 80 layers of clothes on all parts of your body). Here's a sampling from the snuggles, inside activities, and the fun in the snow.
