{ first snow }

The meteorologists said it was coming. And, for once, it did! It couldn't have been more perfect. A fluffy white snow that started falling overnight and continued throughout the day. We had nowhere far to go and nothing to do so being stranded by snow was invited on this Sunday.

We did have plans to head next door to the neighbor's house for some cookie decorating but obviously no issues getting there. The three kids had a blast decorating cookies. 

 

And, as expected, went just a tad overboard when it came to adding sprinkles and decorations.

 

As soon as we could tell that the cookie decorating was heading nowhere good (as in all they wanted to do was eat them or play with the sprinkles) we decided to head outdoors to play in the snow. We got outside and someone had the brilliant idea that our driveway would make the perfect sledding hill for two year olds.

Genius.

 

They would have stayed out for hours. As soon as they reached the bottom of the driveway they were instantly saying "more'.

 

As we put Stella down for nap she whispered "Can I go sledding again?" So guess what we did after naps? Yup, more sledding. And this time the added bonus of making a giant Frosty the Snowman in Viv's yard next door.

 

And as I put her down to bed tonight and finished singing her song and went to give her a kiss good night, she whispered to me "I go sledding again tomorrow."
