First (and only?) Snowfall


On Saturday, January 21, we finally got our first legitimate snowfall of the season. (And, by "legitimate", we mean more than one inch of snow. Which is nothing compared to what we've been getting the last few winters... not that we're complaining.)

The forecast called for rain to wash away the snow by mid-day, so we bundled up and headed outside right after breakfast.


In only about 20 minutes, we managed to cram in an entire winter's worth of snow fun. We made a snowman. We made snow angels (sort of). And we had a snowball fight.





Morgan discovered that her snowsuit helped her shoot down the slide extra fast and splash into a pile of snow. Gwen wanted to give it a try, too.




Unfortunately, the rain came earlier than expected and our snow fun had to be cut short. The girls were disappointed... but it was nothing a little hot cocoa couldn't fix.
