For the first time in 83 years we had a White Christmas. It actually snowed on Christmas Eve and stuck around for Christmas. Due to the busy-ness of packing to leave town we did not get out into the snow until a lot of it had already melted.
We have a lot of cold weather gear for a family that sees little cold weather. Some of it is from when we lived in Norway and I have picked some up when I see it cheap at consignment sales. So, both kids had snowsuits, snow boots, as well as the usual hats, gloves and coats.
Caroline did not like being bundled up. Part of the problem was that her boots were too big. Once we took them off and put on other shoes she was happier. She still would rather be held than play in the snow.
Katherine enjoyed it. The snow was a bit dry for snowballs and she had to wear her fleece mittens which stuck to the snow.
She did get a good snowball to throw though.
We attempted to make a snowman but the snow was just too dry and there was not much to start with. We were in a hurry to get on the road so this was all we made. It was really more of a snow pyramid than a snowman.
She wanted to make a snow angel but then was cold and did not really finish it.
