First Snow

See Charlie? Isn't this fun?

 Its not so bad Maggie, and the snow is great for eating!

 Here Charlie, let me help you with your mittens!! OK, time to go inside!

 Lucy LOVES the snow

 and I LOVE our backyard on snow days! So much room to run around!

Winter has arrived! We got our first snow right after Thanksgiving and it was a wonderful 8-10 inches.  The kids were so excited but Charlie only made it outside for about 10 minutes before he ripped off his mittens and decided he'd had enough.  That was, of course, after 30 minutes of getting them bundled up.  We got a little more snow this morning and I am remembering how slippery it can be, especially in our neighborhood.  Maybe we will be sick of it by next month, but for right now I am really loving our first winter back home.
