What an exciting day! We got four inches or so of snow today, which is relatively uncommon here, although not rare. The kids thought we hadn’t had any snow last winter (I haven’t gone through my pictures to check), and this was really the first time that E3 remembers getting to play in it. They had a blast making snow angels and having snowball fights, which for the most part was kids vs. Dad. They also built a pretty good sized snowman. E1 wants that to be tomorrow’s picture.

After they were thoroughly soaked, they came back inside and I made good old fashioned hot cocoa, the kind made with cocoa powder and sugar on the stove and then made frothy with the hand mixer. I hadn’t made that in years, and I thought it tasted pretty good, if I do say so myself.
