First real snow!

We finally got some snow around here!  I'd say it's about time since it's the end of December... although I admit it has been nice not having to scrape off the car.  The kids were so excited to eat their breakfast while watching the snow fall outside.  Dude about fell over because one of his favorite dinosaur train episodes it snows.  He's been asking if we can make snow-dinos all year, and we kept having to tell him that we had to wake until there was enough of it.  Unfortunately, this wasn't enough still, but enough to get to go outside and play in!  :)

All bundled up and ready to go!

Jumping up and down with excitement!

Showing how to make a snowball

Papa got knocked over by Dude's snowball!

Lucy was tipping over...

Attempting a snow angel

Finally understanding the moving the arms and legs on the ground... not in the air

My sweet eskimo girl

Our neighbors cat on the fence... the highway is on the other side!

Dude's pile of snow that he was jumping in

It was hilarious getting them all dressed up in their snow gear... made them look huge!  Lucy was pretty excited about it at first, but then I think she didn't really know what to do.  Dude was having a blast!  He made snowballs and threw them and was running up and down the little hill behind our place.  After Lucy came inside they made this huge snow pile that he would run down the hill and jump in at the end.  They started to do it where Gaetan would pull him down the hill into the pile... he thought that was pretty funny.  I diligently took pictures from inside because I wasn't feeling the greatest...

Can't wait til there is more snow for them to be able to get some serious playing time in.  :)
