First Snow!

We had our first snow on Saturday!  It started out as flurries and added the perfect backdrop for our Christmas tree trimming.  As soon as the last ornament was on the tree, the kids put on what would become extremely underutilized snow boots and headed out into our Winter Wonderland.

First up, some twirling:

Next, some snow angels:

Here’s a gratuitous shot of Jack looking cute in his snow hat:

They took turns on the super slick slide—notice Maddie is airborne in this shot:2009_1206christtreesnowday0128

What flavor are snowflakes?

If there’s not enough snow for a sled, pull out the cozy coupe:

I will pause here to remind all of you to be cautious on the roads in this weather:

Then back inside for some hot chocolate:

It snowed all day.  It was gorgeous!  By evening there was enough snow to make a snowman.  Here is Maddie chillin’ the next day with the Big Guy:

Oh, the weather outside is snowy

It’s also freezyfrostyfrigid and so blowy.

I love it ‘cause there is no grass to mow!

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
