The First Snow!!

The first snow of the season came with a vengeance this weekend. Of course, the kids were more excited for it than us parents. So, after about four new inches of the fresh powder was dumped on the lawn throughout the night on Saturday the kids were ready for some fun. After church, they didn't even stop to eat. After spending 20 minutes searching for gloves, boots, etc . . they were ready to go. Alaina was particularly excited. She helped Riley build his snow fort and then played house with Madison in her fort. They spent a couple hours out in the cold before coming in for some hot cocoa. Alaina was all excited until her hot cocoa was hot. Riley fixed his own and had it brimming over the top with marshmallows.

Carla,
Your family is beautiful. I can't believe it snowed. I think it was in the mid 70's here today. In a way I miss it and in a way I don't.
