We had a great day on November . It was the first big snow we've had this winter, and it was great!
We woke up to snow falling and it didn't let up all day long. Steve decided to work from home, instead of driving in it. Because of that, he finished up a little early and headed out to shovel the driveway and sidewalks. Now, if you know Steve, you know that he likes a really good snowball fight. While he was out shoveling, some of the neighbor kids came out and Steve couldn't resist rounding them up and starting a fight of boys against girls.
As soon as I got wind of what was going on, I bundled up Anna in her winter clothes and we headed out to join the fun. Actually, Anna joined; I watched and documented from the sidelines. I think we spent a good hour to hour and a half out there. The kids had so much fun and Anna was ecstatic! She was picking up the snow and throwing it into the air. She tried throwing snow at the kids, but she had to get about a step away from her target to hit them. They were really patient, though, and stood still until she had thrown her snow. Her favorite part was eating the snow. As soon as she discovered this cold treat, she lost all interest in throwing it.
After we were all cold and tired, we headed inside. I didn't want to make dinner at this point, so we headed to a new Chinese restaurant that opened next to Soelbergs. Anna loves Chinese food, especially the noodles. It was pretty good, although the room was a little cold from the constant stream of people coming in and out of the door.
We came home feeling satisfied and settled in front of the fireplace. I had made cookies earlier in the day, so we ate cookies and drank warm apple cider. Anna played and Steve and I read until it was time to put her down for the night.
To cap off this great day, Steve and I settled down in front of the TV to watch Pride and Prejudice, the Kiera Knightly version. We went to bed tired and happy after our perfect day.
