Snow!

We awoke yesterday to some fantastic snow.  It was my first day off from work, so we could go out and play.  We were out in the snow even before breakfast!

It begins, of course, with a snowball fight.  Even Sim throws hard now:

Naomi acted as Sim’s sled dog:

I actually had some chores to do in the morning, so I came back in to do them.  Hannah and Naomi did not approve – they’re throwing snow at the window:

After chores, we went to the nearby park for sledding.  Tess came, too.  Check out the look of joy:

When the sled was in use, Naomi went body-sledding:

Tess mostly watched, but she was still pretty psyched:

In the evening, the older children and I went caroling with Northwest Girlchoir.  We had a good time with that, too, especially since they were serving hot chocolate:

It was a lovely day.  I’m a bit of a Scrooge about snow when it disrupts my commute to work, but when I have a day off … the timing could not have been more perfect.
