We are definitely not in CA anymore

The last time it snowed we were in the midst of packing and getting ready to move. So sadly I didn't have time to take the kids out to play. Ava has been patiently waiting for it to snow again. It just so happened to snow last week and Ava got her chance to fulfill all her snow playing dreams.

Here are the kids all bundled up and ready to play.

The first thing Ava did was make a whole family of snow angels. This girl has done a total 180 since last year. When she was 2 she just wanted to walk around in the snow with her hands in her pockets and she would only last around 10-15 minutes. This year I had to drag her inside with promises we would go back outside later.

Ava helped me make her very first snowman. Once inside she would periodically check on Snowie to make sure he was alright. But sadly, the sun came out later that afternoon and Snowie just couldn't survive and broke in half.

I saw some miniature snow shovels at a local grocery store and knew I had to pick some up for the kids. Most of Ava's time playing in the snow was spent towards shoveling. She was very determined to help daddy out with the backyard. Since he only had time to shovel the front driveway that morning.

Reid is obsessed with brooms. So of course this was a big hit.

Here's our very own snow bunny.

I just love beanie hats on little boys.

Since then the snow has all melted away. Every morning the first thing Ava does when she wakes up is open her blinds and see if it snowed during the night.
