Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Well, I did. I saw all the lovely snow on Hege and Bea's blogs and I wanted some for myself. We got it. Lots of it.
The first snow of the season is always so fun. It's such a surprise to wake up to a white world. Everything is muffled and the only things I heard were the neighbor kids yelling to each other to get their sleds.
Lizzy has no memory of snow since she is not yet two. When I told her to go look out the window this morning her response was "eewww"! It was very cute. Will was beside himself with joy and I had a hard time shoving breakfast down his throat. I got them both kitted out like Storm Troopers and plopped them in the back yard. Will got to work throwing snow immediately but Lizzy took some time getting used to it. Her faceplant into the snow about 5 minutes in didn't help matters ;).
Lizzy is still getting used to the idea of snow at this point.
She didn't dare to brave the snow alone and had to be escorted by "Buddy" (her name for Will) for the first 20 minutes. He's such a good big brother to her.
Of course, it always turns to fighting in the end ;).After about 40 minutes (a pretty long time for a little girl) Lizzy had had enough. Will continued to play for about another hour since his cousin Logan came over to join him. When they finally came inside, it was time for hot chocolate and a viewing of "The Polar Express" (I can't help myself, Christmas movies come out VERY early around here!). It's been a fun day for the kids and even though I'm sad to say goodbye to fall (my favorite time of year), it's so fun to have the first snow. Will asked me, "does this mean it's Christmas now?". Yes, it does!

I can't even begin to explain how much i would rather be there playing in the first real snow of the year with the fam.
Hopefully there will be some snow and some light left when i get home.
love you.
fun! that's a LOT of snow! we had a slight dusting. really slight. i've got to get A some snow pants and prepare for the winter outside. last year he didn't get into it much. i have a feeling he'll be more like Will this time around. looks like a good time!
OH... I am a BIT jealous! Not completely, just enough. It was a wonderful 82 degrees here today.. I do miss the nostalgia though of sitting around by the fire drinking of Hot Cocoa... hmmmm
I don't know if we'll get snow anytime soon but I'm really hoping for it! :)
Fun! We have snow up north but not around where we live. We've had some pretty cold weather, though, so I am hoping we'll get some soon.
i thought you lived close by me. we didn't get any snow compared to what you got! lucky! my girls would have been out there too. your kids are adorable.
ahhh, snow (sigh). wish i could be there enjoying it too. it's supposed to be 80 degrees today here.
What a couple of snow babies! They are so cute. I am glad that Will could really be Lizzy's Snow Guru.
Well, I'm sorry but I'd have to agree with Lizzy on this one... I would've said, "EWWW", too! Her and I are California girls at heart! Send her my way!
But, I love that you've started Christmas early. It used to really bug me, but I'm giving in... it's too much fun!
Oh, by the way... Where are the freaking Halloween pictures?
Cute pictures.
All of our snow is melted and it's raining today :( I really hoped the snow would stay here because it is so dark outside without it. And now with the sun dissapearing for a couple of months soon, we really need all the light we can get...
The mittens in your last post is beautiful.
Have a great weekend!
I love it that she calls Will - Buddy-! How stinkin cute is that? We don't have snow up here yet, I don't look forward to it either...I hate, no I despise the snow....too too cold!
I wish I were 2 or 4, then maybe I could like snow again. Either that or I need to quit being so cheap and ski again.
such cute pictures and comments Heidi. Thanks for two adorable and funny grandchildren. :) Mom L.
How fun! It is so fun to see how your kids react to the snow the first time. They looked like they had a blast! I wish we would get more! I love the snow! So last year it snowed massive and we had only had our new wiener dog, Hank, for about 2 months. He went running out into it and completely covered himself. It was hilarious! More snow!!!! Oh your kids are so stinkin cute!
