Winter Wonderland

About two weeks ago, Laurel said that she wished we would move back to Utah where it snows. She said it wasn't fair that her cousins got to play in the snow and she didn't. Her preschool had obviously done a great job covering the "winter season" topic. I had a five year old dreaming of snow. What fun it was to see her face when she woke up to lots of snow yesterday.

We went out and built the biggest snowman that I have ever witnessed from Alabama snow.

While the girls were inside warming up with some hot cocoa, Seth was hunting for the perfect sled. They headed back out to sled down the hill.

We went in and took naps. And just like that the snow was gone, as if it had all been a dream. That night Laurel hugged me and said, "mommy, this was the best day ever!" One little five year old's wish had come true and one little three year old had experienced snow for the first time.
