First SNOW!!!!

We woke up to a little skiff of snow this morning...and these kids could not be any more excited!
We got them all dressed up...
I sent them out thinking that they would be right back in.
But surprisingly...they all stayed out for a pretty long time.
Porter wouldn't wear his gloves, so his hands were freezing cold when he came in...but he didn't fuss about it.
I thought Elsie would have a hard time getting around with her big boots on and all of her bulky clothes...but she was walking around the backyard like a pro.
It really makes me happy to see her doing all the things I didn't know if she would ever do!
Madi and Cassi made a cute little snow man together.
Complete with celery hair.
And chocolate drops for eyes and buttons.
Adorable.
They had a lot of fun and had hot chocolate when they came in.
Then the big girls made themselves some snow cones.
They grabbed some freshly fallen snow, and added some strong Crystal Light to it.
Silly girls!
********************
Then we went out for Ports birthday dinner.
We had a little big of last minute shopping we had to do (trying to get everything ready to take up to Utah/Wyoming so we don't have to mail stuff for Christmas!)
So we did some shopping and ended up at good ol' McD's...
Great place to celebrate a 2 year olds birthday, right!
Actually, Brent and I had ourselves some Costa Vida! YUM!
They played a little bit and headed out for a little more shopping.
Brent says I am not nice to make a boy go shopping for his birthday!
Oh, I also took Porters birthday pictures today.
Tomorrow is gonna be too crazy to try and do it then...but you will have to wait to see his cute little mug in his cute little sweater!
Man that boy is cute!
I also did Cassi's birthday pictures...finally.
I didn't do the guitar ones...she said she wants to wait until it is warmer outside.
I will share some of hers too.
Too bad she is so ugly...(ha ha)
Really, she is a pretty little thing.
Anyway..it was a pretty packed day, and that is how things are gonna be until we leave for Thanksgiving!!!
AHHH!

Great snow fun! We've had two days of light snow...melted by afternoon both days. It's supposed to snow today. We'll see. Lily wants snow soooo badly!

Happy birthday to Porter! Did he enjoy himself shopping? If so, it wasn't mean to take him on his b-day :)

We have gotten Bajio and taken it to Carl's Jr before...I was nervous that they would say something but they didn't!

I can't believe that your baby is two! Where has the time gone?

I agree with Ben. Taking a boy shopping on his birthday is mean... :-)
