First Snow

We had our first snow this weekend.  The kids stood at the front door for a really long time watching their daddy snow blow the driveway. 

And then Ian wanted to suit up and go outside and "help" so I got him dressed and he happily helped his daddy shovel the walkway.

Ian REALLY had a good time in the snow.  He stomped around in it and made snow angels.  And we went sledding in our backyard and he was happy.  This was a nice change from when he was 2 when he HATED the snow.  (We didn't end up getting to see his reaction as a 3 year old since there was no snow last year!)  

On the other hand, we got to re-live an almost 2-year old's reaction to the snow.  Samantha, like her brother 2 years ago, HATED it.  She was mostly okay if you held her.  In the picture below, I got a tiny little smile out of her.

But if you put her down, even on the shoveled driveway, the tears began to flow.  Man, she did NOT want to be in the snow.  Here is the proof.  My poor baby.

*Update*

We played outside again in the snow the following day.  After a while, Sammy decided she wanted to walk in the snow while holding onto her daddy's hand.  So I was very proud of her for that.
