Is it Christmastime Mommy?

Today we experienced a very-early-for-snow snowstorm! It wasn't Reagan's first time in the snow, but it was the first time she could walk around and play in it! She liked it until her hands were too cold to move. She just wouldn't listen to me when I told her to leave her mittens on.

Jocelyn wanted to catch snowflakes on her tongue.

Todd had to bang the snow off of the tress which hadn't lost their leaves yet! It was really weird playing out in the snow while there were still leaves on the trees.
Then Todd realized the wet, heavy snow was perfect for snowman making! In all of the snow and winters Jocelyn has experienced, including the Blizzard of 2010, Jocelyn has never built a snowman--we never had the right kind of snow at the right time.

This snow was perfect!

I'm glad I got the girls outfitted for winter a little early this year! Who would have thought we would get to wear snow boots before it was even October? When we were done playing in the snow and Jocelyn was enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, she asked me if we skipped Halloween and were having Christmas instead. I asked her if she thought Santa would be ready this early and she said, "No, and we don't have a Christmas tree!".
