First Snow




We experienced our first snow of the season on the first weekend of December. It snowed all day on Saturday, and Matt was out of town for meetings, so after naps the girls and I bundled up and went out to play in the snow. Emma made a couple of mountains and Siri spent most of her time trying to get up and down the hill, until she discovered that she could eat snow. We made a small snowman and Emma, on her own, put little chunks of snow in the places of a mouth, nose and eyes. When toes were getting cold we headed in for hot chocolate (which proved to be a disaster with the white shirts they were wearing) and nutella crepes for dinner.
The next day we ventured out again, but were faced with the task of finding a place to play where there wasn't mud and water under the snow. When we found a good area Emma made lots of snow angels and tried to dig a fort in the 4 inches of snow...and Siri ate snow the whole time.
