Signs of the Season

Saturday evening it started to snow and when we woke up in the morning on Sunday, we had about 6 inches on the ground. It was the first official Shoveling Snow! Darren and the kids played in it while I took pictures. Tevin enjoyed hauling loads of the white stuff up and down the sidewalk in his yellow dump truck. Brynlee enjoyed crawling in it but quickly realized she'd rather walk (holding my hands, of course, so I couldn't get pictures of that). Tevin made a snow angel without my prompting which is something he had seen on Elmo's World in recent weeks. We had a fun few minutes in the snow before the gloves fell off and fingers started to freeze. I'm sure we're in for a lot more snow before this winter is over. We do hope it doesn't snow quite as much as it did last year but we do love the seasons here in Colorado.

Here is our tree! We put it up the first weekend in December. The tree is situated in the front room because we figured it would be the best place for the kids to ignore it. That theory works most of the time although we always know when Brynlee has wandered into the tree room because it gets very quiet and we soon find her pulling on the ornaments!
