It's Winter!

This morning when I came to let Grace out of her bedroom when she woke up I opened the blinds and told her to look outside. She saw the snow and immediately exclaimed,

"It's winter!"

followed closely by

"I can make a snowman!"

Alas, the snowman didn't happen this morning since we had to hurry and get ready and be at church early for the Christmas Pageant rehearsal. David played the part of King Herod and did a smashing job as the villain. Grace played the part of cutest sheep ever and while she didn't do much singing she did follow along with the hand motions of Away in the Manger and managed to baaaa with all the other little sheep. Since David was in the play I chose to leave Ethan in the nursery since the thought of keeping him still and quiet for the entire play was just too much to think about by myself. Turns out that when I don't have an occupied lap I get tasked with lots of things. One of which was taking photos of the play which I didn't mind doing, though I wish I had brought my camera since I know how to work it and would probably have gotten some better pictures. Hopefully I get a few emailed back to me so I can share them here!

Oh, and while the snow did briefly melt this afternoon it's back to white outside with more coming down as I write this. Hopefully there's enough out there tomorrow morning for Grace and I to build a snowman!
