Winter Has Arrived!

A beautiful snowfall arrived today! All morning, Levi kept jumping up on his little chair that he'd pulled under the kitchen window to see the snow. Each time he'd look back at me and ask if there was enough to go sledding, yet. Finally it covered the grass and we went out to play! Here is Levi's first snowman! He named it "Josslyn" after one of his little friends. Anna was so bundled up and cozy warm that she nearly fell asleep in my arms. What a pretty day! Oh, yes, and those leaves that you see all over the snowman.... there are about 6 inches of them under the snow... our amazing maple tree drops them so late! It actually still has 1/2 a tree full of yellow, snow-covered leaves! Raking them is usually our first "yard-work day" come March :)
