Enjoying our winter wonderland

We spent our holiday break visiting family in Texas. We enjoyed a nice break from New England winter, enjoying temperatures as high as the 80s during our stay.  As great as that was, when we returned last week to find our dear ole Sachem Village converted into a Winter Wonderland my kids were positively ecstatic.
