Minnesota is Finally…

Living up to its reputation!

This afternoon we played in the snow, in lieu of checking some errands of our perpetual to do list.

This little guy couldn’t have been more content with the chilly weather and falling snow flakes…he trudged and trudged under his clothing bundles as he looked for sticks and other backyard treasures.

After an invitation to come inside to warm up was politely declined, Little A and I decided to bundle up, make a memory and enjoy the snow.

B laughed as I tried to teach him how to make a snow angel…

Once all three sets of our cheeks turned red and noses started to run, I invited B inside to warm up and enjoy some hot chocolate…it wasn’t until I suggested adding marshmallows to the treat that he decided he might be interested in pealing his layers to warm up for a bit.

The miniature puddles from melting snow that had dripped off our boots and clothes left evidence of an afternoon well spent…

And the hot chocolate (and marshmallows) really hit the spot!

I could get used to days like this…at least for a little while longer…then I will gladly welcome spring and pack away the winter gear…and memories.

Happy Friday from our snowy and chilly neck of the wood to yours!

Be blessed.
