We got Anna Kathryn up, and showed her the snow falling outside. She stared at the flakes for a while, intrigued. After we had a family cuddle in our warm, cozy bed, we ate breakfast and then began getting dressed in lots of layers to brave the cold. Anna Kathryn was a little bit sweaty by the time she was all bundled up.
She and Mark went sledding (no judging the cardboard "sled"!)...
...but really didn't want to actually touch the snow all that much. Seems she and I are quite similar in our feeling about snow. We love to watch it come down and enjoy being in it for about 10 minutes, then it's time to head indoors and break out the hot chocolate!!
Anna Kathryn and I made a snow angel:
And then we let her try to make a snow angel herself:

We also tried to build a snowman, but the snow was so powdery that it just fell apart.
And she was curious about the snow....

Glad you got to enjoy what we seem to have in abundance here in Cleveland...SNOW! Claire loves to be pulled around on the sled and to watch the snow fall however she doesn't really like walking in it. The cold doesn't seem to bother her all that much, which is good since it has been in the teens and single digits the last few days! Stay warm and hope the snow day was great!!
Erin, Jeff and Claire
Oh she is so cute! It looks like you had quite a lot! And snow days are always nice, aren't they? Hope you enjoyed your hot chocolate too, but where is the photo of that (from one family photographer to another :).
Oh that hat is priceless! SOOOO CUTE.
We got 5" - on a holiday off school so the kids were NOT amused :) But it was too powdery to play in anyway, so they stayed in and played Wii. Glad you enjoyed the day off!
I've never thought of using cardboard for a sled! Glad you guys got some of what we had! Our kids missed the snow day too (but they did get a scheduled 4 day weekend so you can't complain too much). Stay warm!
