Saturday morning was the first snow of the season. \u00a0In total it probably snowed only an inch, maybe two, but it was enough for the girls to go out and play and even do a little sledding. \u00a0We watched the snow falling through the kitchen window while we were eating breakfast and the excitement in their faces\u00a0and bodies was palpable. We bundled the girls up. \u00a0Avery and Emerson’s snow suits from last year still fit and I somehow managed to get Harper into the size 18 months snow suit that she has been wearing the last two years once Avery and Emerson got their current snowsuits and she got their hand me downs. \u00a0Speaking of hand me downs; Harper wore Avery’s snow boots from last year, Avery wore Emerson’s snow boots from last year and Emerson got snow boots for Christmas. The girls realize hand me downs are a\u00a0norm in our house for certain items and they not only accept it, but Harper is thrilled when something of Avery’s and Emerson’s finally becomes all hers!<\/p>\n

After bundling the girls up, I was sure that someone would have to go to the bathroom shortly thereafter. \u00a0I was wrong. \u00a0They played outside for probably two hours. \u00a0They swept the street, made snow angels, played with a Christmas tree that a neighbor had set out for the trash, and went sledding. \u00a0\"IMG_4760\"\"IMG_4758\"\"IMG_4762\"Justin and I were outside with them and we managed to walk up and down the street repeatedly while they were entertaining themselves, allowing us to actually get a decent workout in despite not going to the gym that morning. \u00a0\u00a0It was awesome to realize they are getting more independent but also made us realize they are growing up so quickly….too quickly sometimes! \u00a0They had a great time playing and it was so much fun watching the excitement they were having playing in the snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
