It's amazing to be this far through a "Michigan winter" and have our first snowfall with some accumulation be just a couple of days ago! A week or two ago Nathan tried on boots at Wal-Mart and when I tucked them in the cart for Christmas I swore him to "forgetting he'd ever seen them until Christmas morning". Then the note came home from school for each child to bring their "mittens, hats, and boots" the next day so that they could play in the fresh snow...anticipated to come that night. Nathan got all choked up...but wouldn't say why. I soon realized that he really has totally grown out of his old boots and that he'd go "bootless" the next day if we didn't do something.
The next morning we had waiting on the foot of Nathan and Joshua's beds..wrapped up boots (Joshua is officially now in Nathan's old ones) and their snow pants.
If the pictures of Nathan look like it's dark outside...that's because the sun hadn't yet come up by the time Nathan had dashed out to play! It was fun to have "magic" on that frst waking-up-to-snow morning!
