The first snowball of the season!

We awoke this morning to "white stuff" falling from the sky. Alexander couldn't get outside fast enough this morning to catch a snowflake and throw the first snowball of the winter season--if you'll notice--it's still dark outside!! Alexander said he was SO excited to see snow and that today was going to be a wonderful day.

On the other hand, Noah wasn't quite as excited to step out into the cold. In fact, when I asked if he wanted to make a snowball he told me he didn't have gloves on and his hands would be too cold. However, he didn't hesitate to catch snowflakes on his tongue and happily announced that he caught three.

Sophie timidly stepped outside onto the deck this morning. She was only a few months old the last time we saw snow--last March during the "blizzard". At first she wasn't too impressed, but then decided that she would try to "snatch" a snowflake or two as well. It was entertaining to watch, but ended before I could grab my camera.

Of course, the boys are planning to sled this afternoon and I know that we're not expecting any accumulation. So, just seeing a little snow will have to suffice until the ground is actually blanketed with the "white stuff".
