It really DOES look a lot like Christmas, thanks to yesterday's abundant snowfall. I went outside to shovel the walk and driveway while the kids were eating their breakfast and came in to find them stuffing baby carrots in their pockets for the snowmen they were going to make.
An hour later, they were dressed and ready for the snow. (Okay, not quite an hour, but pretty stinking close.) I had to do some serious rationalizing to Layla to get her to leave Teddy inside; she was finally convinced (quite easily) when I told her he should stay inside with Dolly "because he doesn't have a coat and will get cold," to which she replied, "ohp, yes" and set him on the shelf next to Dolly.
Quite possibly the funniest sight on this planet is watching Layla wade through 4-5 inches of snow in her puffy snowsuit. To her little frame, it's sooooo deep and takes such effort.
These are the snowmen (affectionately referred to, by me, as "snow lumps"...don't laugh, I simply have ZERO snow-building talent or, for that matter, patience) on either side of our sidewalk leading to the front door. Very welcoming, don't you think? Carson, digging deep into the cavernous depths of his exquisite naming creativity, has dubbed them "Frosty" and "Layla."
The world is beautiful.

I really liked you guys Christmas card. My favorite was the picture. And then in the picture: Paul holding Carson...so tight, but still with a perfect smile on his face (Paul's face that is). Nice!
