Snow Days!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!  We woke up last Monday morning to 8 inches of snow!  It was so beautiful and I couldn't wait to get out in it and play!  Unfortunately, Dan was able to work from home instead of just getting the day off but I went out and played with Amelia and he joined us for a quick break in the afternoon.  Later after Dan got off,  he was able to help finish our snow family. 

I took Amelia out on our front porch for like 1 minute to try to get a picture of her in her snow sweater with the snow in the background. 

 I took this measurement first thing in the morning on the swing in our backyard.

Marcie finally sat still for a moment for me to catch this picture- she and Rocket were bounding through the snow and absolutely loving it!

Amelia was great when we were holding her or if she was standing up but as soon as we sat her down on the blanket to get a picture she started crying!

Daddy and her paci helped make it all better!

Mommy tried to get Amelia to touch the snow- she just patted it at first

When I tried to get her to hold the snowball- this is what happened . . .

Over the next couple of days a lot of people were talking about snow cream on facebook.  Neither Dan or I had ever had snow cream so I found a recipe and we made it one night.  It was pretty good- even Amelia tasted it and kept leaning forward for more.  Snow Cream is definitely a fun new tradition that we will do whenever we get a good snow.  Now we just need to get a sled!
