first snow

Such a beautiful first snow. Super powdery, no wind, perfect for the kids to play in.

We had to go old-school with dressing for snow, I have not yet picked up snow boots for the older two.

So we crammed Avery and Charlie into 3T snowpants, couldn't put the suspenders over their shoulders, so they hung around their hips. I then put plastic bags over their socks so their feet wouldn't get wet in their sneakers. And the fleece gloves didn't stay dry long, but the kids didn't seem to care.

Jackson at least had hand-me-down boots from Charlie, but no snowpants. So I layerd pajama pants under two layer pants under a big pair of jeans.

They had so much fun diving and rolling around.
I am heading out to get boots, better gloves and possibly snowpants this weekend so we are not unprepared for the next storm. And we are in search of a hill close by so the kids can have fun sledding.

  1. Aw--so adorable! Snow is a pain from an adult's perspective, but kids find it so magical, it's the one thing that can warm your heart, even with all the inconvenience!

    Your description makes me think of "A Christmas Story" and how the kids are so bundled up to go to school in Minnesota!
