Snow, SNow, SNOw, SNOW!

I was writing the title to this blog, and the song from White Christmas came into my head and was the inspiration for the title. Many of you probably have no idea what the hey I'm talking about so if that includes you, just ignore me. But I love the seen in White Christmas where they are on the train in the dining car and make the mountain of snow out of a white table napkin, and they bust out into song, CLASSIC!

It's amazing what excitement snow brings, especially with children. I think they somewhat forget the joys of the snow from one season to the next, so each year it's even more wonderful in their minds than it was the year before. We woke up to about an inch or two of snow on Saturday morning, our first official snowfall of the season, and of course the kids were ecstatic. By 9am they were rummaging through snow boots, gloves, and hats and were out the door by 9:30am. Each year they last progressively longer playing in the snow, with the littlest tiring of it first, followed by the middle giving up a short time later, and the oldest wanting to stay out for hours on end. Kaden has already become an excellent snowball maker/thrower and as Matt says, he is relentless! They all came in wet and cold, but after a few hours passed and the snow melted, they were already anticipating the next snowfall.
