It's been SNOOOOW fun!

We have had some crazy weather here in Southeast Missouri lately!  It goes from very mild, almost warm days to SNOW in about 2.5 seconds.  It's a little shocking actually, but we managed to make the best of it :).  We spent most of Saturday outside in the crisp air and fluffy snow.  It was such a relaxing day and very exciting for Ansley and even Charli.  Thankfully, Pam bought Ansley an awesome snowsuit, perfect for the heavy snow and slightly chilly temps.  It is so cute!  Ansley was thrilled to be able to play in the snow with her new bibs on and her first request was that we make a snowman....so that we did.  Charli was eager to get her little mittens in the snow too.  She just smiled and cooed the whole time we had her out in it and she was so bundled up it was hard to see anything but cheeks!

Here was our before the snow pic (can you see Ansley's excitement and Charli's just like...whatevs!)

And then we jumped ALL in!

with little Charli too.

I love those little pursed lips

She got some in her eyes briefly, but it took no time at all before she was hopping up for more.

This is how it all started....snow throwing.

Then daddy got busy building our snowman

And Mimi and BB showed up to play!

They helped us gather snow. My dad is crazy because he JUST had foot surgery!  He was not supposed to be in a Muck boot in the snow that's for sure!

Ansley really had fun putting the eyes, nose, and arms in.

The snowman got to wear BB's hat

On to the snow angels! 

And lo and behold, Jason found a baby kitten in the barn.  She was so pretty and sweet!

This little girl fell in LOVE!

Unfortunately, the kitten didn't make it through the night and Jason and I found ourselves feeding it through a tiny syringe and giving it mouth to "meowth" just to save it's life! Ha! Just kidding on the mouth to mouth!  We were so reluctant to tell Ansley the next day and it was seriously heartbreaking to tell her the unfortunate news.  She handled it well, but now she wants to look for one with the same patches as this one had.....great, that won't be impossible!

We're now on the hunt for one ;) And we're super sad the snow is melting away, but it was so fun while it lasted!
