It finally happened

Winter is finally upon us here in Halifax.

It has been frigid all week and then this morning,

BAM,

it was here.

And the snow just fell all.day.long.

But that didn't stop us from having a wonderful day. 

 

We got to play with the Farlands all morning 

and eat Helene's 'test run' pie.

Then build a mini snowman.

Good thing I had a carrot on hand 

or that little guy would have been more pitiful than he already was.

I got to drink hot cocoa out of my new mug

and watch Harry Potter whilst the little sweetie napped.

Then decorate some more for Christmas.

Let me tell you, 

it's lucky I waited this long since Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October.

And I feel that after I eat that turkey 

I have every right to get my Christmas on.

Yet somehow, I lasted until mid November.

That is self control.

 And when Cory got home the two of them played in the snow 

and the wind nearly burned Lo's cheeks,

but I am the one who got to warm her chilled bod up afterwards.

I think I got the better end of the deal.

Overall, I think our first snow day was a total success.

Here's to hoping the rest of them turn out at least half as great.
