What a joy to see a dream come true for my kids! This year they have especially been longing for snow. And we got some. In the middle of the day when we were all home. Amazing. They saw the first flakes fall and got to go right out and see what it was like. Cold. Wet. hahaha. Tasty? a little. What a joy to see their faces.
So here is a recap of our snow evening and morning.
Ek's first thought was to try and taste the snow. It had been raining for hours, hence the wet driveway.
Looked good to little sis, so she tried it too.
I think they were happy about it...
Ek was a bit confused why the ground wasn't immediately covered in a white blanket. After an hour or so there was finally a bit on the ground. Enough for a snow ball and...
a tiny snow man that now lives in my freezer. There was also a snow ball in my deli drawer in the fridge for a while. hahahaha
When J and I left for our dinner date (that we had planned for at least a month), this is the beautiful scene we left behind.
The next morning, there was a wonderful crunch to the ground as they headed out.
How interesting to see the same yard in a new way. They tried the slide and riding bikes but mostly walked around and enjoyed their snow prints (and there is one of those in my freezer too). The enjoyed making snow balls but were quite disappointed when their gloves got so wet so quickly.
R was quick to come over and enjoy the snow with the kids. We worked very diligently to make our adorable snow girl. We weren't sure it was going to come together until we put an adorable scarf and hat, a carrot nose and m&m green eyes, and sticks and mittens for the arms and hands. We were quite pleased.
The kids were then cold and ready for a warm breakfast. So we went inside and made eggs, grits, toast and bacon. Oh and coffee, yum warm coffee. We loved the snow!
