| We received fresh, new snow last night that came down from the sky in some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen. |
 |
| I am happy to say that I have plenty of help around here..... |
 |
| ...to clear the snow.... |
 |
| ....off the sidewalk and driveway.... |
 |
| ......or....... |
 |
| ....do I? Have a wonderful week-end....I know we will.....we have grandparents coming!!! (Moe was just having a good time...he is actually a very good shoveler!) |
 |
| The expectations were pretty high around here yesterday as we flipped the calendar page to the new month. Snow was top-most on Nacho's mind all day. To him, December meant snow. |
 |
| He only had to wait until the 2nd day of the month.... |
 |
| ....to be filled with utter delight....The white blanket that fell overnight was just the right amount to play in! |
.... and that is just what our winter-loving 3-year old did.
Little sister watched from the deck doors.....
....looking beyond the fun of big brother's toys...into the mesmerizing glitter of the flakes falling in front of her. It was a clear view.....as I had opened the sliding glass door so she could get a closer look.
She seemed to need my approval before checking things out.
First, a dainty little tap with the foot.
Then, big sister comes along and gently cups a handful of snow so that little sister can feel it up close.
.....feeling the sensations of wet, fluff and cold.
Trying it again.....
....this time to see if it has any taste.
Trying it yet again.....
....to share it with big brother, Nacho.
Coco thoroughly enjoyed her morning snack......
and ran back....
.....for one last taste of winter before Mom closed the door.
Snow that said, "Come play in me."
And, so we did!!
A few days later found us at the sledding hill that both Mark and I used to go to when we were younger.
We borrowed some sleds....
and created some....
great memories!!!
We know, because.....
We celebrated a birthday on this day with a strawberry/rhubarb pie....
Wishing you a Blessed Birthday!
