Snow Day!

Last week we had a rare snow day in Charlotte. We only got a dusting at our house, but other parts of Charlotte got more.


My parents got about four inches at their house, as you can see from this picture my Mom sent. But even with our modest 1/2", Sophie was thrilled. I opened the blinds Tuesday morning and told her to come look outside. When she did, she said, "It's snowing! Does that mean it's Christmas?"


She couldn't wait to get bundled up and go play out in the snow. The very first thing she did was to grab a handful of snow...


And throw it at me.


She tried catching snowflakes on her tongue.


Then she played on the swingset for a while, until we were both so cold that we went inside for hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was Sophie's idea-- I think she probably got the idea from an episode of Max and Ruby. (That's where most of her inspiration comes from.)

By noon the snow was almost gone. But it was fun while it lasted!
