Earlier this week it snowed in our town! Since we live in a coastal climate it hardly ever snows here. Instead it usually rains during the winter. It was a lot of fun, and the kids loved it. Amy and Mike both grew up with snowy winters and we have fond memories of playing in the snow so we tried to make sure the kids got to experience how fun the snow can be.

Amy shoveled some snow into a little path on our lawn so the kids could go sledding. K-Man absolutely loved sledding and it was the first thing he asked to do when he woke up in the mornings. Bear hasn't been a huge fan of the sledding, but he likes going outside.
In other exciting news, we got to go see Santa Claus. He was visiting during the local Festival of Trees event that Mike's work puts on. K-Man was thrilled and he was totally prepared. He asked Santa for a blue soccer ball. Bear was not fond of Santa. We have a similar picture of K-Man crying on Santa's lap when he was Bear's age, so we weren't surprised.

Anyway, the last few weeks have been a lot of fun and we're getting excited for Christmas. The boys are getting into the Christmas spirit and have been watching some Christmas classics. Only two more weeks to go!
