Finally Some Snow!

Yes, we finally got some snow! It is crazy to think that we didn't have snow on the ground until January. Vanessa and Owen were super excited to be able to go and play in the snow. Vanessa could stay outside all day long if we let her. The cold doesn't seem to bother her much. But Owen on the other hand, can only stand playing outside for about 30 minutes. He must get that from me.

Vanessa and Owen wanted to build a snowman. The snow wasn't packing very well so we built a baby snowman. Vanessa was very good at getting all of the supplies needed for the nose, eyes, mouth and arms. She also wanted to put a hat on it. She told me while building the snowman that we needed a hat so it could come alive just like Frosty. When we finished and she put the hat on it, she sat in front of it waiting for it to move. I had to explain that snowmen don't actually come alive. She was very disappointed and sad. If I could have made it come alive, I sure would have.

It was sure fun being able to play outside in the snow with the kids. I love every moment I get to spend with them. 

She was quite disappointed when it didn't move.
