Our "massive" snowstorm

I will freely admit that I am a bit ridiculous about the snow. Having grown up in NJ where we got a decent amount of snow every now and then, I sort of miss the snowy joy that my kids are missing out on. Yeah, snow is a pain in the rear to drive in and all that... blah, blah, blah. So what? Snowball fights are FUN. Snow angels are FUN. I get REALLY excited when I hear snow is coming. It's ridiculous. I sometimes can't sleep if I know snow is coming. (I know, I need help.)

So yesterday I was actually getting a little depressed when it hit noon and it was still raining and our promised 2-4" of snow looked less and less likely. It finally DID start snowing at about 2:30PM and went on for some time, though it never really accumulated. Still, it was fun taking a walk with the kids in the snow-- using the snow on the car to make snowballs for a snowball fight (which, in case you're interested, I TOTALLY won... Nia and Nico can't make snowballs at all, so I pretty much took both of them on at once... not to toot my own horn or anything. :)

Here are some pics from the snowy madness--

This was Nico's first snow... he just liked putting his face up to the sky and letting it fall on him.
Nia looked like a psychopath running around trying to catch snowflakes on her ridiculously long tongue.

Afterward, we came in and roasted marshmellows by the fire... topless apparently.

This last picture has noting to do with anything-- it was just cute. (And yes, that's a Barbie doll Josiah is playing with-- you got a problem with that???)
