Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Here we are in the first weekend of December covered in snow! The girls could not be more excited!!! Before I knew it they were outside, no coats, hats, gloves, boots with the door left wide opened marveling at the marshmallowy look of our backyard.

I led them back inside, closed the door and agreed to get their snow gear out if they would go and get dressed, yes they were in their pajamas. They went to get dressed while I pulled out snow pants, boots, hats, scarves and gloves from the closet.

I got them dressed and out they went. Brad was out putting the exterior decorations up so he was really excited for the help:) Thankfully Abby loves the snow so she kept the girls occupied by sitting pretty so they would throw snowballs for her.

Sunday morning was a repeat of Saturday, minus the initial run outside in only pajamas. Ainsley had a little difficulty on Saturday trying to walk through the freshly fallen snow. She looked more like a penguin and occasionally lost a boot. Sunday there were some "trails" put in the yard from Daddy and the walking from front to back of the house that helped her move around a little easier.

Ainsley lost a boot! When you aren't much taller than the snow, you don't weigh much and you are carrying around lots of extra weight with all your equipment it can make it a little more challenging to maneuver yourself in new fallen snow.

Ainsley decided to wear her safety goggles to keep the snow out of her eyes.

While I seem to remember many a year where it's almost Christmas and I am wondering if the first snowfall will beat Christmas, this year that is not the case as the winter wonderland has arrived well before Christmas day. Will it stick around or melt away? Only time will tell. While it's here the girls are definitely enjoying it!! Abby is too!
