We are officially snowed in for the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier! The view out of our front window is beautiful and we’ve been blessed to not experience any power outages or other inconveniences. We’re praying it stays that way!
After bundling her in multiple layers, we took Claire out to play in the snow with the other kids on our cul-de-sac. She seemed a bit shell-shocked and took quite a while to snap out of it, but eventually we got a few smiles out of her. When we came inside, she made a beeline for her dollhouse and played happily for quite a while. I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between her behavior and mine as a little girl. I never was much for outdoor play, instead preferred to play with my dolls or read.
She’s STILL asleep upstairs, going on the fourth hour now. I’m beginning to wish it snowed every day - ha! Here are my fave pics from the wintery festivities this morning. More in the updated January 2010 gallery.
She sure has changed since the last time we took her out in the snow - almost exactly a year ago! Here’s a short video clip of Claire and Daddy playing. If you listen closely, you can hear her say “snow” - we’ve been hearing it ALL morning long!
UPDATE: After Claire finally woke up, we took her back outside and she loved it! She was stomping all over the place and trying to throw snowballs (a bit difficult with this sugar-like snow). Looking forward to more winter wonderland play tomorrow! Here’s a few more pictures…
