The First Snow of the Season

In November we got our first taste of snow for the year! The trees were so pretty with their light dusting of white!
Carter was still too new to take out in the cold, but Tristan took Ethan out and I watched from Ethan's bedroom window. Tristan taught Ethan about smelling the snow:
Since we didn't have a sled, Tristan got creative and took Ethan sledding down the small slopes in our parking lot on a garbage bag! Ethan had a blast!
They built Ethan's first-ever snowman. He talked about it for days afterward!
And, of course, we had to get out the beach toys to play with! Can you tell we just moved back from the South?
Ethan and Tristan both had a great time. The only downside was that it went away quickly and Ethan asked every day for at least a week for me to "get the snow" and to "play in the snow". I had a hard time getting him to understand that I wasn't in control of it! I was glad that he got a chance to enjoy it and got to get outside and burn off some of that 2-year-old-boy-energy!
