The First Snowfall of the Season

We experienced our first snowfall of this season on Tuesday night, and Samantha was itching to get outside yesterday so that she could play in it. For about a month now, Sam's been asking when the snow was going to come; in fact, she even asked for snow for her birthday! I guess that she remembers playing in the snow with her daddy last year (shoveling and using her sled).

She was SO happy to be outside! We got about 8 inches of snow, so it was up to her knees, but she didn't seem to mind one bit!

I even got her to help me shovel a little bit of snow around our cars:

((Note: As a result of the big snowstorm that we got Tuesday night -- driving home from teaching was a total nightmare for me that night -- I chose to cancel the girls' appointments to see the doctor on Wednesday morning. So, I don't have any stats to report on Sophia (or Sam) yet. The appointments have been re-scheduled for two weeks from now. I will update then).
