it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yippeee!! Snow!! The first snow of the season fell today and it was a pretty good one. We woke to a light cover on the grass, but it continued to fall and cover everything except the roads. Since Miles had a birthday party to attend this morning, we headed out while it was falling right after breakfast. While it did snow last winter, this was the first time for Audrey to get out in it. She looked like the Stay Puft Man in her pink snowsuit. I picked up rain boots for both of them at Target yesterday and hers were a little big. The worst part for her was the mittens, so after a few photos, Wayne took her inside.
Miles and I stayed out a little longer so we could work on a snowman - his first ever! We've had snow every year but it's never been nice & sticky like today's. It was a wee-snowman but it still counts. We had to defend it from Chelsea, she thought we were making a toy for her. Miles later added a second carrot in the bottom part of the snowman.... you know, his bellybutton.
This year the excitement level has ramped up over years past. We're having lots of fun playing Christmas music all day long and adding decorations around the house. They've enjoyed "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and I've been recording all the Christmas shows for them. We may have to slow up in watching some of them. Audrey tried to take a lesson from Buddy the Elf....
Merry Christmas everyone!
