SNOW!

Today the girls experienced their first real snow! Caroline had seen flurries before but never snow that has stuck to the ground, never a snow that she could play in-- until today! She is thrilled!

Once a nice, white sheet covered our lawn, we bundled the girls up and out they went. The first thing Caroline did was plop backward and make a snow angel. But her favorite activity was throwing snowballs at Mommy and Daddy. She has good aim, too! I took Claire out just long enough to let a few flakes fall on her nose. Then she and I headed inside to finish preparing our dinner of turkey and rosemary potatoes while Caroline and Daddy stayed outside to enjoy the snow.

After dinner, we sat next to the fire, and Caroline watched "Heidi" for the first time. Meanwhile, Claire found a new favorite yogurt flavor-- orange cream. Now Caroline and Daddy are watching one of my all-time favorites - "The Last Unicorn" - together.

It has been a very blessed and memorable day!
