A Little Snow

Okay, so the snow we got was NOTHING like the snow Neal and I experienced growing up in Boston and Pittsburgh, but down here in the South we will take what we can get. Around here we typically only get snow once a year, so we made the most of the light dusting of snow that we got and went out to play in it. Of course Sophie was so excited she kept saying, "Oh wow, snowy!!", she was running around exploring the yard I had her so bundled up though it was a little hard for her to bend over, poor thing. Since snow is not really a recurring thing for us there is no need for snow pants or any other winter like clothing so I had her bundled up in two pairs of leggings, two pairs of socks, jeans, a long sleeve onesie, a long sleeve shirt, her jacket, a vest thing over her jacket, hat, mittens, and scarf...phew, oh yeah and shoes of course. So needless to say it took us a little while to get outside. We played for quite a bit roaming around the front and backyard, sitting at the picnic table in the front yard enjoying some Goldfish, and finally took a short wagon ride down the street and I say short because at this point I could not really feel my face, fingers or toes. It was so much fun to see the wonder and sheer joy on Sophie's face as she experienced the snow.

I love this picture, I have the same shot of her last year when it snowed!
