Winter Wonderland

Hello friends! This is Otis, our snowman. Bitty and I made him after a tremendous snowfall.
She insisted that he have buttons and a carrot nose. The snow was super dry and so we had to make a mini-man, as it really did not want to stick together.

Yeah for Otis!

What the hell Otis? You froze my hand!

This is 6:15 this morning, before it was even light. She and Daddy headed out to inspect the snow. This is really the first time that she has seen snow with the ability to comprehend what it is. She was terrifically excited and subsequently terribly angry when I made her come inside. She howled like a wildcat.

Bitty is attempting to protect Otis from Atila, who was assaulting our snowman nonstop - trying to perform rhinoplasty as Otis' nose was made of one of Atila's most favorite treats.

Adelaide's first snow angel.

Yelling "SNOWMAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!" at the top of our lungs. All in all, we went outside 3 times today to play in the snow. The temperature did not rise above 26 and seems that old man winter has made his official appearance.

How much fun! Looks like a beautiful day! I want to cry looking at the picture of Adelaide and her freezing hands! Poor girl! Luckily it looks like she had a blast the rest of the day and it didn't traumatize her too badly.
