The first snow of the season

The Grove is covered in a thick (for our area anyway) blanket of snow. It's Monday and I've spent the day snugglin' our lil' lady; yes the first snow also brought the first snow day! Yesterday we ventured out back to play for a bit. We all bundled up. Lylah was in a big coat that actually won't fit her right until next winter, a scarf her "Meme" made her, a sweet hat I forgot about buying last year, and socks for gloves. She did fine with walking in the snow, but sitting on the sled was another story- all the clothes kept making her topple over. She swung in her swing, but signing "finished" was a hoot because she couldn't bring her arms together because of the big coat! We played for probably 10 minutes and then we were all ready to go warm up. Today we have been enjoying the snow from inside. We sat on her toy box for a while this morning looking at the snow and "talking". We have read "A Snowy Day" and a snowman book that I got for a dollar at Target. When she wakes up we are going to do some kind of craft, but for now I'm going to work on making some Christmas candy and be thankful for snow days!!
