Finally some snow to play in

This winter we have only had ice, until today, finally some snow the kids could play in. Clair was truly beside herself. She had no memory of ever playing in the snow. Every time she saw a few flakes this winter she got super excited. Today, when I told her she could finally go out and play in the 3 or so inches she squealed with delight. 

Max and Ellie were happy to go out too, as long as there was hot chocolate when they came in. Expectations just keep increasing with age. 

They made snow angles. They sled down the hill. Ellie snowboarded down on the sled. They played on the playground. Max even spent time digging at the top of the hill and pushing the snow off the fence line. Clair also tries to help me clear snow from the driveway. 

I’m so happy they all finally got their snow! I think there will be more fun tomorrow because more snow is expected. 

Hours after coming in, Clair Still has her red rosey cheeks she got while outside!
