First snow, sledding, and a snowman

Last year, we had a couple school days cancelled for snow before Thanksgiving, but I haven't minded easing into the snowy season a bit slower this year.

Saturday, we had our first snowfall and the girls were SO excited.

Camryn waking up Saturday morning - first reactions to the snowfall.

Playing on the back deck

Sledding - so many giggles, and SO much work for me hauling them back up the hill, and getting them going with a running start each time (there wasn't a ton of snow, so it was a bit hard to get started :)).

Taylor was aiming a snowball at me while taking these pictures...stinker :)

And something that I have never done with the girls is make a snowman - but the snow was PERFECT packing snow and made it easy to make one!

Curious what winter will be like THIS year...hopefully a bit more mild and less snowy!
