Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

We got enough snow a few days ago to justify going through all the winter gear to see what we had for all the members of the family.  Harriet looked SO CUTE in the hat Grandma Rasmussen gave her last year.  She absolutely loved the snow--once she got over her initial suspicion.  

 Eli and Harriet.

 Cowen.

 Miriam and Eli.

 At one point Harriet fell down and couldn't get back up.  After a few minutes of trying she decided to go with it and laid down.

 Eventually I sent Miriam over to assist.

*Hand-me-downs are awesome.  What is not awesome is that Cowen is only one shoe size smaller than Miriam's shoe size.  When did his feet start taking miracle-grow?  It means that Miriam is wearing my boots (much, much too large--plus, they're mine!) so Cowen can wear her last year's boots.  I'm going to get her new boots, but more critical was snow pants because Emeline's were too small to stay over her boots.  The kids all made do for the few days the snow lasted (it's long gone now) but I bought new overalls for Miriam so she passed down hers to Cowen and Cowen passed his down to Emeline and Emeline's went back in storage because this year they are not needed.  It is always so exciting to open the box and figure out what fits who or who fits what.
