snow angels

so it snowed today. 

the kids were so excited to see it.

after lunch we went out to play in it..

so you know, the grass is currently still visible.

but my kids...

they laid right down and began their first snow angels of the year.

too cute!

then we made a little army of snowmen to guard our steps.

only daddy the t-rex (king of the jungle - according to elijah) can get by them.

i grabbed my camera.

turned it on.

held it to my eye...

oops, the battery is dead.

but picture this:

two snow-clothed little rug rats.

smiles, laughter...

plopping their bodies flat onto the grassy snow..

and swinging their arms and legs for their angels.

light snow falling all around them.

priceless.

wish there was enough snow to actually leave an angel imprint.
