Snow Day

We woke this morning to a dusting of snowfall of about 1".  From leaves falling to snow in 10 days. Well, we'll have fun nonetheless.

Elsa enjoying the snow.  She loved running back and forth and was very excited about Jones playing in the snow.

Jones getting in on the action.  He was very confused after he "caught" the snowball, since it disappeared on the catch.  Titus followed suit and was throwing snowball more or less at Jones who didn't seem to mind much.

Momma and Elsa smiling. Titus asks to build a snowman after being unsatisfied with the result of his snow angel.

Ask and ye shall receive.  It wasn't a very big one, but it was as big as Elsa.  After decorating it, Titus asked if he could "go kick it".  We convinced him to make another snowball to kick, rather than blasting our poor little snowman to smithereens. 

A quick family pose before we went back inside.  After one of Elsa's hands got cold and wet, she was       d-o-n-e and not feeling shy about letting us know.  I asked Titus if he was cold and he said, "No Daddy!  I have gloves on and a hat on and-a and-a a big-ole-coat on."  (When I first opened the door to go outside, Titus said "Oh Daddy!  It's too cold outside."  I then told him he had a big coat and a hat and gloves on, so he should stay warm.  Seems like he remembered what I told him.)

And what better to warm back up with?  Hot chocolate of course.  Titus is happy he's getting "hot chocolate milk" and Elsa is just thinking, "Brother, don't be silly.  You are wasting time.  You need to be drinking it faster, like me!"
