Fun in the Snow

We have about 8-10 inches of snow that fell over the last couple of days. We had about 4 inches yesterday morning then we had sleet that started late yesterday afternoon and lasted late into the night. Then it snowed all morning today. We were fortunate not to get all the ice that hit only about 20 miles south. Dan is working from home today so we decided to take the girls out in the snow for a little bit after lunch.

Julia was breaking the icicles off the trash can, taking a bite then throwing the rest on the ground. I think she got all of them off.

We did this last year--Dan made a sled out of a laundry basket and pulled Julia all around the yard. There was a layer of ice on top then. The snow today is nice and fluffy so the sled didn't slide well.

Julia wasn't too excited about it anyway.

Neither was Vivian.

Here's Dan showing Julia how to make snow angels. She layed down but got snow in her sleeve (because she took of her mittens) and wanted back up again so I didn't get a picture. Maybe next time.
