Snow Much Fun!

Except for the random snow storm that ruined Halloween, we've had a pretty tame winter so far.  This is slightly disappointing mainly because I bought Madeline a sled, a snowsuit and boots for Christmas, and I've been dying to put them to good use.

But finally, we got some accumulating snow on Saturday, and Madeline got her first taste of New England winter fun.  

We bundled her up so much that she looked like she was getting ready for deep space exploration.  You know, if astronauts wore pink...

Then we brought her outside, sat back and watched her react to the snow.

She loved it!  She kept yelling, "Snowwww!"    

 We took turns pulling her around the yard in her sled.  She acted like a little queen on that sled.   I think this was her favorite part.

Between her gigantic snow boots and the uneven ground, Madeline was unsure about walking in the snow.  Instead, she opted for lying face-first in it and scooping it up in her hands.  She kept sticking her face in it and getting mad when she couldn't get the cold, wet stuff off of her.

Live up playing in the snow for as long as you can little Madeline.   One day, the snow won't seem so fun and glorious...trust me.  Especially when we make you help shovel the driveway.
