Snow Day!

We got our first big snow storm this year in early November, but we missed out on playing in the snow because we were preparing to leave on a two week trip. Today was the first time we broke out the snow gear and headed out for some fun! My friend was having some dental work done, so we had an extra little friend to help us make the day a success!

Sunny had a really hard time walking in her snow gear at first. She kept falling over and crying until someone picked her up and put her on her feet. Sparkle taught her how to eat snow, which made for some funny photos. At the end of the 45 minutes that we were outside, I had to drag her in kicking and screaming.



Sparkle insisted that I go inside and get her ski goggles, then proceeded to stick her face in the snow like an ostrich. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of that little trick! She's been begging to make a snowman and even has a carrot nose picked out and set aside in the refrigerator... but she had so much fun playing that she forgot all about it.


We have a little hill in the yard that is sufficient for sledding and should keep the little ones happy for the next couple of years at least. Sunny loved it and charmed me into pulling her up and sliding her down at least ten times. Sparkle and her friend pulled her up just this one time, then decided it was too much work!
