Yes indeed, winter has arrived to the tune of 11.5 inches of freshly fallen snow this past Sunday! In this one storm, we were blanketed with more than half of the total snowfall from last winter. It has been almost 2 years since we've had some snow to play in. It was a beautiful snow -- falling straight down and clinging to tree branches and everything else it could stack up on. Our world was turned into a real life snow globe. Needless to say, we were pretty excited to get Emma suited up for her first real snow experience.
Getting her dressed was no small feat and had to be done in stages.
Bibs and boots go on first.
Next comes the coat.
Finally, the hat and mitties.
Then we just had to get her pointed in the right direction...
At first Emma wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow, but it didn't take her long to get the hang of it. We were out for a full hour and by the end Emma was getting around pretty well considering the snow, for her, was knee deep. :) <Be sure to check out the videos below of her trudging through the snow>
We finally got to use Emma's sled from Grandma Roz and Grandpa John. To be fair, we did use it last winter, but the snow was pretty pathetic. This, however, was the real deal and Emma loved it!
It's going to be a fun winter!
From Minneapolis - buried deep in snow,
Jason, Melissa, and Emma
It's a real snow angel!
