Snow Angels.

We finally had some good snow! Good [good]: Adjective; satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree. Snow [snoh]: Noun; a precipitation in the form of ice crystals, mainly of intricately branched, hexagonal form and often agglomerated into snowflakes, formed directly from the freezing of the water vapor in the air.

The day that Berlin and I got sick we went outside for a little snow fun. This was the first time that I took Eli out to play in the snow. He LOVED it. The boy/girl difference is funny. Berlin likes to play in the snow but doesn't want it on her. Eli just jumps right in face first! We did some sled pulling around the house and snowball fights...although it wasn't that great of packing snow. The kids did some snow angels and then we came in for hot chocolate. Unfortunately, I was unaware that Berlin was getting sick. In the middle of one of my picture takings is when she got sick the first time. I thought it was a fluke thing from being overly excited about the snow... I was wrong. Should not have let her stay outside when she begged to still play. And also shouldn't have let her have hot chocolate but lesson learned.

Photobucket Elijah and hot chocolate. SO funny to hear him say... it sounds more like tribal speak with clicks and ahs.
