Snow!

 

A few weeks ago we got the first real snow of the year. The girls couldn't wait to get out. I had to convince them to wait until after they ate a quick bowl of cereal and it was semi-light outside. Though it unfortunately ruined our planned trip to Madison, we made the best of it and enjoyed that it actually felt like Christmastime.

 

It was Sage's first time out in the snow that she could remember.

  At first she didn't seem to know what to think.

 

However, her sisters were enjoying it, so she did, too.

 

But it got warm again, and the snow melted...

 

Much to the disappointment of our oldest child, who insisted on going to 'play in the snow' after getting home from school the day this photo was taken.

But then last night and today happened, and she was in her element...

 

 

A blizzard! 12+ inches of snow! She was out building snowmen and snow forts and sledding with Lise and her dad and a few neighbor kids this morning, then back out this afternoon for lots more sledding with her dad and just by herself.  She absolutely loves snow! (Excuse the bad picture taken through the door and the bars of the deck - it was blowing and snowing too much to take the camera outside!)
