Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

When I no longer thrill to the first snow of the season,

I'll know I'm growing old

-Lady Bird Johnson

One of the best parts of having children is getting to re-experience life through their eyes. Everything is new and exciting, and snow is no different. The first time Priya saw snow this winter, she walked right out of the door and into it barefoot. She quickly realized that she didn't like the feel on her feet, so she promptly sat down in the snow and began to cry. She has had a love-hate relationship with snow ever since. She loves the snow, which she calls "No!" and always says "Brr!" when she sees it, but she hates being cold. We have found that snow serves our little one best in small doses. This year, she went sledding for the second time in her life, and she built her first snowman with Daddy (which, unfortunately didn't get any pictures in its short life).

This snow storm was a big one we had about a week before Christmas.
