Winter has arrived

Winter came in with a bang.  Yesterday started out in the 40's and sunny, but windy.  By mid afternoon it was getting colder.  It was in the 20's by night time and really windy.  We got a dusting of snow overnight and wind chills this morning were in the single digits.  Brrr!  The kids adjusted much quicker than me.  Elliot could not WAIT to play in the backyard after we dropped off Noah at school.  He would play for quite awhile before coming in to have hot chocolate and warm up.  Then he went again.  We've gone through a few pairs of mittens already today. He loves it.  And I am surprised to say he actually ate lunch with all that hot chocolate and marshmallows he had this morning.

As much as the mild weather was nice (and I do prefer it), it's fun watching Elliot enjoy the snow.  I am excited for the first big snow to go sledding.  I think this year he'll really get into it and keep up with Noah.
