The kids couldn't wait to get outside, so after it had snowed a bit, I let them head out to the back yard.
They built this pile (which ended up a good bit larger than it is shown) and it was the last thing to melt.
After supper we headed out front to enjoy lots more snow. But first, Mommy had to get a picture.
Grandma and Granddad came over to play in the snow at Nathan's request. They couldn't stay too long, though, because the roads were starting to be covered.
Sara got her first experience with snow. I'm not sure she knew what to think of it.
And here are all three kids in the nice clean snow. Notice the road behind them. Ack!
Caroline built a snowlady with a little help. Nathan also built one (a snowMAN), but I didn't get a picture for some reason.
Later, we went next door to see our neighbors, The Crenshaws.
And Caroline ate snow.
Nathan thought it would be a good idea to throw snow into the bird bath so the birds would have some water.
And Caroline ate snow.
Nathan ate some as well.
Mrs. Crenshaw gave me suckers for the kids to put in their snowpeople, but I forgot. After they were in bed, I went out and gave the snowpeople their suckers.
Oh look. Here's Nathan's snowman. As you can see, he wasn't too worried about perfection.
The next morning, we headed out to play some more before the sun melted the snow.
The snowpeople had eaten up their suckers overnight. Don't worry, though, Caroline found them and promptly set about eating them. When she was finished, she started digging around in her snowlady to see if she could find another one.
And then she ate snow.
Nathan and Caroline played birds. Here they are taking a nap.
And along the way, several snow angels were made by both Nathan and Caroline.
This one was the best of the lot.
Oh yeah...and Mommy and Daddy were there, too.
