Yesterday was the first day that the kids and I got to play in some snow.  It was a small dusting of only an inch or two but enough to have a little bit of fun in.  After getting them dressed very warmly, we headed out to the deck where most of the snow had not already melted.  Both kids had fun shoveling snow and Alex used his shovel for the first time for it’s intended purpose.  We built a little snowman, leaving enough snow for them to play in.  Brooke had fun putting some snow on Daddy’s car (he took my Subaru to work for the icy roads).  Then Alex was all giggles as we had a fun snowball fight.  Brooke kept getting him and I got a video of him chasing her with a snowball that he eventually drops.  Afterwards, we settled in with some warm cocoa, marshmallows, and animal crackers.
