snow play

Today we woke up to snow! So, even though everyone was a little under the weather (and we later today discovered that Ellery has an ear infection), we all managed to get outside for a few minutes and enjoyed our first snow this winter! We read a new fun and interesting book from Cookie and Papa called "Snowflake Bentley" (about the first person to study and take pictures of snowflakes), and we had yummy hot chocolate and coffee in front of our new wood stove. A great day!


Studying the snow!

Playing snow baseball!

A first snowball fight!

Snow is yummy!


The funniest thing is that Ellery had her tongue out practically the whole time we were outside. We're not sure if she was trying to catch snowflakes or if it was just the coolest new trick she has!

Snowy days are awesome!
