Baby It's COLD Outside...

These are the words to Ellie's favorite song and the phrase I hear to often as we go outside these days. Saint George was so cold between Christmas and now that we actually got a little white stuff on the ground and not just in our surrounding mountains like much of December. 

Our house got a few inches and we still have quite a bit left in the shade against the front of our house. It make me cold just thinking about it. Since this is not a regular occurrence I bundled the kids up in 2 sweatshirts, slick pants, too big of gloves, hats, and anything else i could think of to keep us warm (we don't own winter jackets or snow clothes) and ventured outside.
Ellie loved every minute and quickly found Abby next door to share in the wonderfulness. Cooper wasn't as sure but quickly got into the snow and enjoyed himself. We built a snowman, made snowballs which Cooper quickly learned to throw, and snow angels. We lasted about 45 minutes then retreated to the warmth of inside and the bathtub to warm up. We enjoyed our bit of winter, but will be glad to have the warm mild winter that we love back soon!!
