Snow day

We got a few inches of snow overnight, and it is still snowing a bit now. Miles is super excited to have snow to play in. All four of us went out this morning playing in the snow.
Here is Miles trying to slide - mostly just pushing snow down the slide.

And Quincy collecting snowflakes on his eyelashes:
Then we were joined by some friends.

The kids tried to build a snowman, but it just wasn't good sticking snow. Here is about the smallest snowman I've ever seen. Look for the tiny orange carrot sticking out of the snow, then you may be able to make out the small snow mounds that make up this snowman.

And of course, a break for hot cocoa with whipped cream and some chocolate chip cookies:
The Dads have just taken the kids to go sledding, while Quincy warms up and gets something to eat. I'm sure there will be some fun sledding stories by lunchtime! I hope everyone is having a great snow day!
