Snow! FINALLY.

After a warm and non-snowy winter last year, Colin and Gillian were BEGGING for snow. We got perhaps a half inch before the holiday and they were DESPERATE to play in it. But, finally, FINALLY Old Man Winter helped the kids out and brought us 4" on Boxing Day and then 6" more a few days later. They were so happy about it!

I was happy because Daddy was still home from work on vacation and HE could go out in the cold to play! (I have since invested in a new pair of snow pants so I'm more likely to make it out in the snow.)

There was lots of shoveling (with C&G's new kid sized snow shovels), running, yelling, snowball attempting, and small scale sledding in the yard. Oh, and a third of an igloo.

And FINALLY the snow was right for this guy:

His name his Frosty.





We even had some cocoa.



The cocoa is the best part, in my mind. Well, those giggles while C&G race down the big hills in the park are pretty great too!
