02 December 2007


















It snowed on Saturday...and it was COLD! Piper was in seventh heaven! She asked if she could go outside about 100 times before we said she could. Once suited up in layers upon layers of warm gear, Daddy & Piper hit the slopes...well...they looked like slopes to a two year old!

Daddy got out the sleigh and took Piper for an Indy 500 race around the cul de sac! You have to admit, snow is more fun at a faster speed!

After half an hour Piper was completely wiped out and we all came inside for hot apple cider and fresh cookies! The first snow is always the most fun, it's lovely this time of year, but ask me again in March when it's four months of snow, ice, wind, snow...and more snow! But for now I'll take pleasure in watching my two favorite people in the world revel in is powdery perfection.

Agreed! That first snow is magical!
It snowed here too on Sunday, but, sadly, it's all gone now :(
Kiara did manage to get out there with Frank & catch some flakes on her tongue, though! :)
