First Snowfall

Looking out our front door

Today we woke up to the first snow of the winter.  We have had a little frost and some random patches of ice, but nothing like this.  The snow is just a light dusting, but it covered a lot.

Trying to figure out how to put it on herself

I am not a big fan of winter and hope this is the only snow we get for a while.  Anna, however, was mesmerized by it.  Last winter she was just 6 months old, so she really didn't know what was going on.  This morning when Anna saw the snow she got so excited.  She stood at the back door looking outside for a long time.  Then she ran to the kitchen and got her jacket.  After trying to put it on herself, she came to me and had me put it on her.  We then opened the door, and she stuck her hand in the snow.  Anna was so pleased with herself!  That curbed her interest, at least temporarily.  I'm hoping she doesn't feel the need to play in it until Daddy gets home and wants to take her out in it!

With a little help she's ready to go

Testing out the snow.  Not quite what she expected.

Charlie slept in this morning, but he was really excited about the snow too.  The first thing he said was snow outside means it's almost Christmas!  Then he proceeded to ask how do we get more snow out there.  I told him I was sure there would be plenty of snow for him over the next few months.

Charlie finally got up and was checking out the snow.  Anna kept cheering that he was there with her
