First Snow Fall

We woke up to thunder and lightening on Tuesday morning. Gracie came running into our room because she was afraid. I took her to the window and we looked out into the dark to see the first snow storm of the season. Gracie took one look at it and said, "Snow!" I didn't know she would remember what snow was. Then she said, "How bootiful!" I think I must say beautiful a lot, because Gracie has picked it up, but she was absolutly right. The snow falling was "bootiful." Once it got light enough I told Gracie she could play outside. We put on her new snowpants and coat and her boots. She thought it was so fun. I realized I forgot to buy her gloves though (I went out and bought some last night) but she didn't care. She wanted to go out anyway. I showed her how to eat snow too! I kept trying to get her to come in to warm her hands for a minute, but she was having to much fun, so her fingers are bright red in these pictures. The snow is mostly gone now, but we can't wait for it to snow again!
