It's January and It's Snowing!

We woke up to snow this morning. We have been hearing rumors of snow all weekend. We had about 5 minutes of rain mixed with snow on Saturday and then it was sunny yesterday. When we went to bed there had been a light dusting of snow and we thought, well there is our snow they have been forecasting. Boy were we wrong! We have about 3+ inches and it is supposed to snow tonight. If there is snow forecasted, we usually get it. We are in a convergence zone. We will have snow and you can go 5-10 miles down 405 and there will be no snow at all! Seth decided to stay home today, so we have been having some fun playing! We took the kids out to the front yard and played. This is Alistair's first time playing in snow. Though we did let him down when we were snow shoeing, he really didn't play!

Sadie LOVES the snow and just runs and flops in it and rolls and just goes crazy. She was in 7th heaven this morning having all the yards to run around in and roll in untouched snow! (:

Alistair got this nifty snow suit hand-me-down from my mom's coworker. It is lined with fleece and is nice and warm! Other than his hands getting a little cold, he stayed quite toasty for the hour and a half plus we spent outside!

He also got this cool baby tobogan from her co-worker. We keep forgetting we have it, it would have been good to have for snow shoeing! We dragged him around the block, through the park on the corner and then found the icy spots on the road to make him skid around. He thought that was pretty fun! We also made our driveway into a sledding run and pushed him down it a ton of times. Here is a video of him on a pretty good run! (:
