Well, I don’t know about you- but I usually love the first day of snow and then dread it as the winter goes on. Having time at home with the kids though- today was pure joy. I got to actually enjoy a whole day out in the beautiful white snow thinking about how lucky I was to be with them. The snow was falling in amazing giant flakes and it was actually pretty warm. We rigged up an old sled I found in the back of the garage and put a handle on it and off we went. I’m not sure if it was the pleasure of enjoying time with the girls or just that it was really unseasonably warm but we lasted a good couple of hours out there. Even as a kid, I don’t ever remember lasting that long (except the year my brother and I made a really cool igloo and tried to live in it). After that it was HOT chocolate and a tube of BenGay on the aching bones.
I’ll never forget the look on my kids faces- pure joy. I wish I took a picture of my own. You would have seen pure joy there too.

Hey Melissa! Awww! That sounds like a lot of fun! Unfortunately, we don’t get snow here in California! But I always love going back home to NJ and seeing the snow!! Glad you and the girls had such a fun time!!! Thanks for sharing your pure joy with us!!!
I miss you and hope to talk to you soon! Amber from California.
How come we don’t seem to have that much fun when we play in the snow? Must be because we tend to get hurt doing the same things our children do. LOL Love the photos. Thanks for sharing! Hugs!
