Winter Landscape

Like I mentioned in the last post, I love snow. As long as I'm not driving in it. Every time it snows, I take a ton of scenery pictures... it's just beautiful. And we don't usually get this much snowfall at once, so the thick layering of snow everywhere is just captivating.

Snowmageddon

Snow doesn't usually make an appearance here until January or February and school pretty much always lets out when it does, so it's extra fun for the kids! When I don't have to drive in it, I love snow-- playing in it, the beautiful scenery it creates, that crunch when you step on it. Snow much fun! (that's so punny). Get ready for picture overload!

 After bundling up in several layers, the two littles were ready to brave the cold! Will didn't want to come out and I had to get setup for Maggie. 

 Jake was the first to feel the crunch and loved it! Allie stood back and observed for a little bit

 HIYA!!

I got Allie to come out and she doesn't like it at first

 Got Maggie out after taking pics for a few minutes. I brought out a booster chair so she wouldn't have to sit directly in the snow but still feel it. In her walker, she'd have to stand or get down to feel it, but that would leave her sitting in the snow still. 

Maggie liked her set up but got cold and wanted to go back inside. 

Allie and Jake decided to join her

 Then Will was ready to go out so all but Maggie wanted back out with him. 

Good thing they weren't fully dressed down.

 My handsome little man

 Maggie didn't want back out so I never got a group shot of all four 

but this is adorable still

 Takin' a break above and makin' tracks below

 Maggie came to the window to watch us but did not want back out!

 Everyone came in to warm up by the fire with some hot chocolate

and we couldn't get Allie in the pic so still only 3!

 THEN Maggie wanted to go back out! This girl...

I helped Maggie walk around the yard some so she could feel the crunch of the snow under her feet. It was a great day, hate I couldn't get all four of my kiddos in one shot, but oh well. And in the end, I outlasted everyone. :)
