Let it Snow!


so its usually extremely rare that we actually get snow here in alabama - especially around christmas. but this year was an exception because it did snow during the holidays, on the morning of dec 5th. the night before, it started snowing around 11:30pm so talon and i spent some quality time on our back deck to enjoy it before going to bed. the next morning, talon had go to work but we both got up early so we could take some photos with claire since this was her very first snow! it was mostly a dusting of snow over the ground, but it was still snow in december! we got all bundled up and went outside to take our pictures. claire was so cute! she just kept looking around and trying to touch the snow-covered rosemary by our mailbox. i made a snowball and held it up to claire to see her reaction. she kept trying to touch it, but of course couldn't because she had mittens on. i held it up to my mouth and touched it with my tongue and then she did the same! it was so cute! we threw our snowball at talon and she even laughed! it was such a perfect holiday moment. it was really special to have her first snow this year because just a few months earlier, we had a nice snow when i was still pregnant. it was on march 1, which was 12 days before her arrival and i was very pregnant! so in a way, she had two snows in her first year! i can't wait until she is older and we can have a real snowball fight and make snow ice cream together!
