First Snow

It snowed this morning!  And since it has been crazy-cold the past several weeks, the creek has a thick, 8-inch layer of ice.  Definitely safe for the girls to walk on it - they had fun pretending to skate on the shoveled ice.

 It's not a ton of snow, but since it's the first snow of the year, the girls were excited to don their snow gear and play outside for as long as they could stand the frigid temps.

 And now for the best part of playing in the snow...

 ...hot chocolate.
