Snow Angels! Snow Balls!

We finally got enough snow to make snow angels today. Kaitlyn was ecstatic. Claire was curious. Jack wanted back in where it was warm!

Let It Snow!

We got our first real snowfall on Tuesday, and the girls were delighted (including me!) Kaitlyn and Claire donned their snow boots for the first time, and though there wasn't enough white stuff for snow angels, Kaitlyn did make a few good snowballs to throw. Claire just shuffled through it with a little smile on her face.

Later, we had our neighbors over to make sugar cookies. We went through two batches of icing and a few hundred sprinkles--and we had a great time doing it! The day ended with a trip to Great Seneca Park to see Christmas lights. It took 45 minutes to drive through to see them all, and the girls entertained us with exclamations ("It's Rudolph!" "It's Pooh!" "House! House! Santa's house!") and carols the whole time.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's festive around here! We thought about cutting down a tree, but alas, the trees looked nicer at The Home Depot. Cheaper, too! Now that's it's all trimmed, it really is a happy little tree. And we're a happy little family. We can't wait to spread good cheer with family and friends next week!
