Fun in the Snow!

We just got a week of lots of snow!  We have been waiting all winter to get some snow so that we could go play in the snow with the girls.  (Last winter, we didn't get much snow to speak of so we were really hoping we would get something to play in.)  Well, we got about 12 inches from a Wed.-Fri. snowfall, and then the following Monday-Tuesday, we got another 4-5 inches or so.  It was so beautiful to see falling and just covering the ground.  We spent lots of time getting the girls ready to play outside and then playing outside with them.  SO MUCH FUN!  Here are some pictures...

Watching the snow fall!  The girls were super excited!

All three girls ready to go outside.  It sure does take awhile to get all the snow suits on, but so worth it in the end to see the girls have fun.  I went to my mom's house the first day of snow so that I could take Megan and Emily out while Nana watched Anna, but we had to take Anna out for a little bit to take pictures!

Anna's first time in the snow, and she was not too excited at first.  Her gloves fell off and her hat was in her eyes...poor girl.

This is much better when I can see!  What is this white stuff?

Just taking it all in....

As soon as she touched the snow, she started crying again.  It was just so cold for her little hands. 

Emily loved just sitting on Nana's porch her first time out in the snow this winter and just eat the snow.  The girls LOVED eating snow!

Emily eating the snow again, and Megan is digging in the snow. 

Where are you Emily?

A very common scene during the snow storm as Tim cleared a few driveways with his snowblower.  He was excited to use this snow blower as it was his first time using it since purchasing it two years ago.  Unfortunately, it broke a couple days in:(

The snow tasted so good.

Poor girl could not walk in the snow as it was just too deep.  I had to carry her around our backyard!

"Emily's" snowman...made by mommy

Megan actually pretty much made this by herself other than me helping her fill in between the snowballs.  She found some snowballs that were more like snow chunks by the mailbox and stacked them together...working smarter not harder!

It was much easier walking on the sidewalk than in the snow!

Megan went outside during the girls' naps one day and just enjoyed walking on the snow.

She looks so tall standing on top of the snow piles.
