The Devlin Drama: S*N*O*W* in Frisco!!!

It was so exciting to get the first snow of the year this past weekend! We went to church in pouring down rain and left with snow flurries all around us. Before we knew it there were huge snowflakes coming down fast and a winter wonderland quickly building on all the yards and buildings. There is just something about snow that even puts a little wonder in the adult hearts.

After nap time the girls could not wait to put on their rain boots and warm clothes and head out into the snow. Claire just loves to make snow angels and have snow fights and she could not stop putting her own finishing touches on their snow man. Cate wanted to help daddy roll the large snow balls that made the snow man's body and wanted to get it just right. After a little lesson on how to pack the snow the snowballs were a flyin'. Sure it was all fun and games until Cate got hit in the face, but pretty soon she was recovered and ready to roll again. After a romp in the snow the girls were easily lured into the house with the promise of hot chocolate and a movie.

I should mention that Brant pronounced on the way home from church that he did NOT want to go out in the snow. He does not like being cold and wet and I can't say that I blame him too much. We did not force the issue, but I think next time we might try to entice him with a little sledding. I think he would really love that and it doesn't involve getting your gloves too wet.
