Let it Snow!

We had the first snow of the season yesterday and I couldn't quite pass up the photo op! So I took the boys out in the yard for a while and up the hill behind our house. We slid down the hill on our tushies, had a snowball fight, caught snowflakes on our tongues, and then (of course!) went inside for hot chocolate when they started getting snow inside their mittens! I had told Alexander earlier in the day, on our way to see Santa, that Santa had magically brought some of his "North Pole snow" here to make himself comfortable while he was visiting children here, and that he was leaving it here as a gift for us, and Alexander totally latched onto that idea and was really excited to play in Santa's special snow.
