Snow = Fun

This was the first snowfall of the year.  Ok really more like a big flurry as you can see the grass isn't even covered!  But the kids had to bundle up and go play.  Here are their concrete snow angels.  I am guessing Elizabeth is pointing and telling Grant exactly where to next make his angel :)

Finally real accumulation.  (6 inches or so?)  The trees were beautiful.   The snow was really fine, small flakes and fell with no wind so the branches caught it perfectly.  It was so pretty to wake up and see the next mooring and it was a Saturday so lots of time to play!

I love taking pictures of Grant against this tree.  Look at those cold rosy cheeks! 

Oh and that smile!

Thank goodness we had sleds! Thanks mom and dad for letting them open a few xmas gifts early!

They loved being pushed and Pops' patented "twisted sister" move is now a classic.  The snow stayed for quite a few days and the kids sledded everyday they could.  The day ended with Elizabeth learning that you do not throw a snowball at your brother's face.  Poor kid couldn't even open his eyes it stung so bad.  You know the feeling, we have all had it happen to us.  She just couldn't believe that it would hurt that bad - oh honey.  Anyway lesson learned.

We got more snow today but it was just to bitterly cold to let them play outside.  We need it to warm up just a bit so they can use their new snow goggles! Until then think warm thoughts as Grant played in his swimsuit one day!
