Fun in the Snow

Snow, snow, lots of snow.  We woke up Thursday morning to snow on the ground and had all-day snowing.  I went into work that morning, but came home early so I could avoid the ice.  When I got home, we took the kids outside to play in the snow.  For the first time ever.  Well, I think Gracie played in the snow last year when there was maybe an inch on the ground.  This was enough to where we could make a snowman and snow balls to throw at each other. 
The kids loved it!  Gracie wanted to do everything that Steph was doing - snow angels, snow balls, throwing, running - everything.  Max and Nick loved it, even though they didn't know what to make of it at first.  Once they figured out that it wouldn't hurt them, they played and played.
Friday morning we woke up to more snow on the ground and icy conditions.  So, I stayed at home (which working from home for me and Steph both is not everything it's cracked up to be), and there was more playing-in-the-snow.  The kids and Steph went over to the Penn's and played and built.  Max liked to stomp around in the sludge.  Nick just liked to wade in the snow.  Gracie wanted to do snow angels most of all.
There were a few dejavu moments for me and Steph from New York.  Snow is great.  And I am so grateful that we had a chance to all exprience it together at such a young age for the kids.  I've got some video that I'll post soon!
