finally ... snow!

When I woke up yesterday morning, Lion was playing in his room. He was about to wake Blue up (Blue, I playing in my room! Blue? Blue, I playing, Blue! Blue? Blue, I playing in my room!) so I went in and sat with him and we talked quietly for a bit and then we happened to notice that it was snowing outside! So we ran in to wake Daddy up and show him the snow. And Blue came staggering in all half-awake and we showed her the snow. We were so excited because snow is one of the main reasons we moved to Colorado and this was the first real snow we've had! (It all melted by midafternoon so I'm sure that part about "real snow" will crack me up one day..)

So after breakfast, we bundled the kids up into their winter coats and snowboots (thank you, Grammy!) and went for a walk with Mabel:
