Snow Day!!!!

Last week we had our first accumulation of snow!  Drew and Claire woke up and went running to their windows to look and I think we were outside in less than an hour!

Andy had school unfortunately, however we took advantage of the fresh white powder and had a blast.

This snow was a little extra special for us as it was the "first" for many for Drew and Claire.  We would travel to other places in Europe during the winter months, however it would NEVER snow in accumulation!!!!! 

Some of our firsts were:

Building a snowman

Claire sledding for the first time

Teaching Drew and Claire what snow was safe and not safe to eat

Claire first snow angel

 

Living on the ocean and in tropical conditions most of our career, it's nice to be back with ALL of the seasons.

 

 

Eating snow

Drew was like Buddy off of the Elf and was a machine with making snow balls!!

Mean while Claire took the power wheel for a spin in the snow and LOVED it!

Snow angel...check...

FIRST snowman the kiddos have EVER built!

Claire's FIRST time going sledding!!!!  Drew was so good with her and helper talk her through going down the hill.  Once she did it once, she was hooked!!

 

We tried making a train!!
