There's No Day Like A Snow Day!

We woke up this morning to a light snow fall and learned that Lia's school district had called in a two-hour delay.  As a result, all morning kindergarten was cancelled which means that Lia had her first, official "snow day!"  Although I was disappointed that she was going to miss her class party and gingerbread man scavenger hunt around the school, I was also excited because it meant that the three of us could go outside and play in the snow before the rains came and washed it away!  So we bundled up and headed out into our backyard for some fun in the snow.  We actually lasted 40 minutes before the kids were ready to go back inside for some hot cocoa and homemade Christmas cookies.  I'd say this was a pretty good start to Lia's Christmas vacation!

 

The cutest snow bunny ever checking out the "no" (how Logan says "snow).

Siblings enjoying the ride!

 



 

After a three month hiatus, Logan was anxious to get back up on the play set for a few minutes.

Logan insisted on trying out his trike on the snow covered sport's court.

 



 

Of course, Lia was quick to follow!

 

Logan lost it right as I was taking the cute sibling picture of the morning.  Oh well.  At least, you get the idea.  We headed in for cookies right after this and he immediately perked up!
