First Snow of the Season

We got our first big snow of the season about a week before Christmas. Emily was so excited about it. It didn't start until mid-morning so by the time there was enough on the ground, it was naptime. And then it changed over to a freezing mix that wasn't pleasant. By 4 or 5, it was back to snow and Greg took her outside to play after he finished working on the driveway. Emily got all bundled up and she and Greg took out her little sled and she had such fun getting pulled around the little hill in our backyard. We had recently checked out the book "Snowy Day" from the library so she kept saying that she was going "crunch in the snow." They also practiced making tracks in the snow and making snow angels, just like in the book! I tried to get a couple of pictures of Emily actually in the snow, but it was too dark for the pictures to come out (and I wasn't close enough for the flash to make a difference).
