First Snow

Today was the first snow of the season.  It actually seemed to hit a little early this year.  Past few years we haven't had a good snowfall that sticks to the ground until mid December.

Olivia was super excited to see the snow this morning.  In fact instead of asking for her typical chocolate milk and to watch a show she was starting to dress in her snow boots.  We thought it might be a good idea for the sun to fully come up, eat breakfast and properly get dressed before we head out.



Lucy loved looking at the snow from the dining room window, but once we were outside she wasn't sure about it.  Of course it was a little difficult for her to move around.  I had her dressed in several layers.  My biggest concern with Lucy was that the moisture from the snow would seep through her winter bunting.  It has been nearly impossible to find winter outerwear for her because she is so small.  I guess they figure infants wearing her size usually aren't walking.

We did have some family fun with throwing snowballs, building a tiny snowman, and playing with Sam (the dog).


Nicol and Lucy.  Lucy really did not want to play in the snow.

But once she was in the swing, her favorite outside pastime, she was happy!

The starting of a snowman.

Sam was super excited to be off the leash and romp through the snow.
 I love throwing snowballs at him while he tries to catch them.  

A happy moment, very short lived though.
