Winter officially arrived here this weekend. Wow, what a crazy burst of blustery weather! It seems like it has snowed for much of the past four days or so, and we finally got some decent accumulation. Yes, that's right -- I DO like snow and winter weather! And I was just thrilled that the kids were finally going to be able to get out in the snow and make a snowman. Last year was so disappointing! The weekend storm finished up with nasty snow/sleet/rain and dense fog this afternoon and evening, which made for a real mess and kept us inside the entire day. But you know, that was ok too. It gave me a good excuse to get my holiday baking done, and the girls and I worked in the kitchen most of the day, making caramel & chocolate dipped pretzel rods, peppermint biscotti, pumpkin bread, and even fun "reindeer food" for our neighbors to sprinkle on their lawns Christmas Eve.
There's just something incredibly cute about kids bundled up like State Puff marshmallow people, playing in the snow. Of course, getting Sienna to STAY bundled is a whole separate issue. Though she kept complaining that her hands were cold, she insisted on taking her mittens off so she could feel the snow. Maddie is a bit better about it, but I remember going through the same thing with her at this age.
