Fun in the Snow

So the Rawlings girls have finally gotten some real good ol' playing in the snow fun this month! We had a good storm a couple of weeks ago and they were able to get outside and do some playing! They sled down our small little hill, built a snow fort with Ron, made snow angels, and did some snowball fighting. Although Evie and Ada thought the snow was fantastic, Cate had a different opinion. She really wanted NOTHING to do with it. She thought she did from inside the house, but once the gear was on and she was out there she couldn't get back inside fast enough. Earlier in the season I bought everyone new snow pants and all the winter gear, boots, gloves, hats, etc. Everyone needed these things since we didn't really have any need for them in North Carolina. When the snow pants came in the mail we opened the box and I showed Evie her cool new pants. Her exact words were, "What are these?". My sweet little 6 year old had no idea what snow pants were. I just had to laugh and thought to myself "oh goodness sweetheart you are in for a surprise this winter!" Thankfully it hasn't really been that bad. It could have been so much worse, but us Rawlings are thankful that Nebraska has welcomed us back this winter with a little bit of mercy because we have still been mighty COLD!
