"noman"

December in Colorado brings snow...and lots of it the past few years. Claire loves snow! She calls it "noman." She's yet to separate snow from the snowman figure.

It snowed here starting this past Saturday and snowed most of today again. Claire got up this morning and wanted to go outside to play. I told her she had to put her shoes and coat on. She ran and put on her Crocs, mittens, and hat. She brought me her coat. She let me put socks on her. I figured she wouldn't be out very long if her feet got wet and cold. Boy, was I wrong. After about 2 minutes, I thought she was probably getting frostbite walking out in the snow with her Crocs on. She let me put her tennis shoes on at least. Mama Sue bought her snowboots today when I mentioned we were going boot shopping tomorrow. Claire will have a great time playing in the snow with warm feet! Thanks, Mama Sue!

I have to say....there's nothing much cuter than a 2-1/2 year old trying to catch snowflakes in her mouth, especially when she's as cute as Claire. Ellie sat at the backdoor and watched from the warmth of the house. She laughed at Claire's outdoor antics and you could just tell from the look on her face that she wanted to be with her. It won't be long.....

P.S. Still can't find my camera. I just KNOW Claire hid it.
