First Snow

We got our first snow day of the season at the end of January, although there really wasn’t much snow.  Ella and Jack were, of course, thrilled to play in the snow and to have the day off from school.  Not knowing what was in store for the rest of the winter—we have had winters with no snow—the kids definitely made the best of it, trying to fit in all of their usual snow day activities with the little bit of snow we did have.  We live on the sunny side of the street, though, so they actually had their best luck at a house across the street with a little driveway sledding.  Snow days—the unexpected break from school, plenty of outdoor play, and topped off with hot cocoa—are always awesome…even Charlotte style.
