Snow Day

We had a gorgeous snowfall Sunday night. Leah couldn't help herself, late that night she went in and woke Ben up from his slumber and carried him outside to watch the swirling bounty of snowflakes against the dark sky. He may not remember that moment, but Leah always will.

Monday morning was filled with child-like excitement and fun all around. After pancakes and Peet's coffee (a special treat brought back from California), we headed outside to play. It was wonderful to be out in the fresh air after two days of non-stop rain and yuckiness. A few weeks back, Ben had checked out a book from the library about a snowball fight (written by Jimmy Fallon, is everyone a children's author these days?), so he was thrilled to throw his own snowballs. Clara loved the sunlight sparkling on the icy trees and watching her big brother run around. It was a good day.
