first snow 2010

December 4, 2010

Woke up to a winter wonderland!

Oh how I love the first snow day...there is just something about it! It makes me happy :)

We had cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa for breakfast.

In lieu of tradition, Madden received a snow-related gift on the "first snow" day: brand new snow boots and his new winter coat that his Grandma Brimhall bought for him when she came to visit this summer. He looked so cute in all his snow gear! :)

This afternoon we took Madden out in all his puffy layers of snow clothes (that he could barely waddle around in) and Randy helped him build a snowman. Randy did most of the snowman building while Madden just did a lot of shuffling around in the snow and poking sticks into the deep powder and then saying "cole!" anytime the cold snow got on his fingers (since he refused to keep his mittens on).

Then all the fun ended with a snowball in the face.

Awesome.

We finished off our first snow day eating White Chicken Chili for dinner.

And then ate candy cane kisses and drank hot cocoa while we watched The Holiday.

Happy First Snow Day! :)
