December 1 - First Snow

Although we have had different members of our family sick off and on, Caleb being the worst last Sunday throwing up every half hour from wake up to bed time, we finally took one day and got out and played in all the snow we have been getting. It snowed almost every day and if the ground hadn't been so warm would have really accumulated but it didn't and it was really light and powdery. We were able to make a few snow balls but could make a snowman bigger that a foot. It was quite cold anyway. So we went to my mom's and threw snowballs at the house, she opened the window and we got a few in the house too. Then after about a half hour of fun we retreated inside for some hot chocolate. We will get to sledding in the future when we all have a little more strength. Today Abe has been fevered and no appetite, Mike's already had it so I guess it will be Titus or me next? But I hope not. What is your favorite thing to do in the snow?
