First Snow to play in this Winter

YAY!!!! It snowed and we have inches on the ground. (I'm not sure how many inches, but enough to play in!!!)

A little of this...

I have been waiting all winter for the snow to stay on the ground long enough to take Nicolynn outside to explore. And today was the day. Last night I was like a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting for the snow. I could not wait to get Nicolynn in the snow.

A little of that...

 We had such a great time. Once we were all bundled up (which probably took around 20min or more) we started shovelling the walkway and walking/falling in the snow. Chunks of snow kept sticking to Nicolynn's boots. I have never experienced this myself, like I saw on her. It was so funny because she would walk in the snow and then when she fell she couldn't get back up because she had around 3 inches of snow stuck to her boots. It was like she was wearing ice skates because there was more snow in the middle and it just tapered up to the sides of her boots. So we had to keep kicking snow off her boots if she wanted to walk (which she did). We even walked from the front of the house to the back. I forgot how long it took for a, not even, 2 year old to walk in snow. But we made it to the back and started shovelling the deck. 

And a lot of this!!!

 Nicolynn lasted longer than I thought she would, but like most kids, all of a sudden she was done. She got really frustrated because she was cold, but she didn't want to go inside. So she just ended up crying, and I ended up caring my snot faced baby into the house. (I forgot how much more little kids' nose run in the cold than ours do :) We got her all warmed up with a bath. And I can't wait to do this again!!! Maybe tonight with Daddy too...
