Snow-dles of fun

As I am preparing for all the photo opportunities that lay ahead in the next few days, I came across these pictures from the first snow day we had the second week of December. Of course, we LOVE the snow! The kids will go outside and play forever..or until their fingers turn into little icicles. They spent at least an hour outside this particular morning. You can see from the pics that Christian and I are safe inside while these too ya-hoos throw snowballs at us!

Christian was dying to get his hands on the snow - in turn "bad" mom fashion, rather than bundle us both up, I brought some snow in...for him!

Don't worry- I picked CLEAN, fresh snow since I knew he would want to eat some.

We made our own "mini" snowman. I even found some polar animals to frolic in the snow with.

Well, needless to say once the others saw how much fun we were having inside, they came in and enjoyed some more snow and hot chocolate.

Christian also decided to "go fishing". He was so focused on this activity!

I can't take credit for these adorable creations, however they were thoroughly enjoyed by these 3! They spent a long time making them at daycare last week. Scott and I were SO impressed with the details to these cute pretzel snowmen! They disappeared so quickly!
