Winter Arrives in Ashland

Well, it finally happened! It took until mid-January, but winter has finally arrived to eastern Kentucky. All week, it's been seasonably cold, and today, we actually woke up to some white stuff on the ground.

The girls were very happy to get outside and play in all the snow! (just kidding) But, no matter that it was just an icy & wet dusting, we were putting on those boots (for the first time) and going outside!

Daddy showed Jordi how to make a snowball, and how to throw it, too. She had to work for them, but she managed to make several!

Both girls really had a great time outside in the cold & wet. Caroline especially seems to like being outdoors, no matter what! Shortly after I took this picture, she discovered a puddle in the driveway behind her, and that's when the fun really began for her! Mommy doesn't let her stomp in puddles with shoes on, but boots... well, that's a different story! Boy, was she mad when it was time to go in!
