landre, my 2nd grader, who usually whines and complains all the way to school about being cold and tired, was up and at 'em today at 7am and was out in the snow by 9 am. other than coming inside for a quick lunch break, he and his brother carter have been sledding and playing in the snow all day.
the two of them wore their pajamas inside out last night in hopes of a blessed snow day and when they got their wish early this morning they did a very funny snow day dance.
in this season of commercialism and materialism, i've been trying to drill into my kids' heads the importance of gratitude and generosity. today landre grinned at me while rolling in the snow and said, "Mom, I am VERY GRATEFUL for snow days!!" WEll maybe I'm teaching them something =)

I love this picture! Oh how I miss snow days. Snow angels, snow men, hot chocolate, fires, sledding...ahhh the memories. I should have been a teacher so I could have snow days lol!
I was kinda sad - this was the first year we had snow but no one asked to go out and play. My youngest is 14 now. I guess her snow angel days may be pausing - I hope she realizes you can NEVER be too old to make snow anels!
Focusing on being thankful is the hardest part of Christmas, especially in light of mass consumerism and a culture that teaches that self worth is found in such things as what clothes one wears...outside of this...Your photography is phenomenal.
