SNOW!!

We woke up to snow this morning! We don't get snow around here very often so it was quite a treat for the girls -- not so much for mom and dad. Any guesses as to how long it takes to get four little girls all bundled up to play in the snow? Now, any guesses as to how long they will be outside before one of them has to go to the bathroom?

The snow was very dry so no good for making a snowman. But the girls made lots of snow angels, decorated mom's and dad's cars, and spent lots of time tramping around making footprints in the white stuff. When everyone was properly cold and wet we all came inside for steamy mugs of hot cocoa sprinkled with marshmallows. It doesn't get much better than this if you are a kid! The weather forecast is calling for a week of sub-freezing temperatures and possibly more snow. Oh Joy!! Thankfully we have all our Christmas shoping done and the house is fully provisioned.
