Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

This winter has not been off to a good start in terms of the weather.  Last winter, we got more snow than our family up in CT and the trend is continuing this year.  I can't figure out what has happened to our mild winters in VA!  This is the second time in a week we have had snow on the ground.  This time around, we only got a couple of inches but it stuck immediately and school has been out for two days which is so silly if you think about it. 

We are very busy getting ready for Christmas with my family this weekend and our trip to CT, but I took the girls out for a short bit this morning to play in the snow.  Madelyn and Ellie loved riding on the sled together and playing with our beach toys in the snow.  Madelyn was making a cake for everyone and we had to sing happy birthday after the completion of every cake.  She had a blast!

This snow was perfect for our little sled because it was only a couple of inches.  I pulled them around the neighborhood a couple of times and they loved it!

Sweet Ellie is 9 months today!

Cute little lips!

For our family in CT, this is our street after only 2 inches yesterday!

Madelyn refuses to wear gloves for very long.  However, it really wasn't very cold this morning!

Madelyn also loved pulling Ellie in the sled!

Ellie wasn't a big fan of the sled at first.  It's probably the huge snowsuit she hates, but it's the only thing I have that covers her hands and feet!
