With all this snow it's only appropriate that Elsa from FROZEN would feel right at home in this weather.

Elsa costume

Stacey Murdoch and her daughters Asha and Harper have been "dressing up Elsa" and posing her outside of their house this past week. It's the last house on East E St, 200 block for general directions

They have some really cute ideas that brighten your day when you drive by. Stacey has pictures of Elsa and her different costumes. The little girls have really looked forward to doing this project and they also need some more ideas.

This is a past time I can get behind and the type of news submissions I LOVE.

Thank you to Sharon Rorie for submitting the photo.

Remember you can submit fun area photos, meeting notes, news, etc by just emailing them to editor@elmwoodnebraska.com
