The first snow of 2021 has fallen. It's also our first snow here in our new neighbourhood. My children had been keeping vigil ever since someone mentioned "maybe it will snow this weekend". F and I made paper snowflakes to encourage the real ones to make an appearance. Boy did it work!
Our morning has been filled with shoveling, sledding, building, trekking, drying then repeating. Lulu loves the snow. It's so fun to watch her leap through the snow drifts. She hates rain but loves snow. I suppose it makes sense as her breed is originally from the mountains of Tibet. She even has feet especially designed for walking on snow.
As we no longer have access to our neighbourhood sledding hill, the kids got creative and built one in the yard. They used the deck stairs as a base and piled and packed the snow into a ramp. Their efforts paid off! They've been zooming down that little hill for hours. I think I've heard a gleeful "wheee!" as I sit here typing. Perhaps it's time I went out and joined them.
