Finally Some Snow

It finally snowed enough for the girls to go outside to play in it. It wasn't actually a ton of snow, but it was more than we've had all year. So far. I shouldn't have put that in writing. We're going to get dumped on until May now.


Anyway. Annie and Kate were so, so excited to get out there. Annie especially loves playing in the snow. She ran out and flopped right down in it.

Once the older girls and Matt were outside, Eve was so sad inside. She just stared out the window at them longingly. I can't refuse a cute baby, so I bundled her up and out we went. Turns out, Evie's feelings about the snow are closer to Kate's feelings about the snow.

She went from trepidation.

To confusion. (Also, she's wearing my mittens from when I was a baby. Thanks Aunt Ruthie!)

(Isn't her hat cute, though? Etsy. I love it)

(Also, to be honest, she is wearing a 3-6 month snow outfit. It does run huge, but she may be irritated in part by the fact that it was very snug.)

Back to the snow fun. The girls really wanted to make a snowman. This was not going to happen. There wasn't enough snow nor was it the right texture. They persevered nonetheless.

Matt took pity on them and tried to help them build a snow mound to make into a snowman. This made them just as happy.

Hey! The snow is way better in Daddy's arms!

And tired Mama's arms, too.

Kate actually really into this snow adventure!

Annie shoveling in an attempt to gather more snow for "Snowy," as they named him.

Pause for a sister picture.

And the final product. Snowy. That's my scarf, a strawberry nose and blackberry eyes. We had to use what we had :)

And, what is going on with Annie's hat?! What point is that thing serving in this photo? Certainly not keeping her warm! I have tried so many different hats on this kid. Nothing stays on! She must have her dad's weird shaped head. Maybe it's too small? I don't know, but it looks hilarious.
