First Snow

Well, it's November 12th and we've had our first snow in Chelmsford. It came before we even had time to rake! In fact, all the leaves aren't off the trees yet. The kids are so excited you'd think they grew up in Florida. Hannah has been home from school for 1 hour and she's already made the world largest snowball, a snowangel, eaten snow (looking out for the yellow stuff) and is now sipping her first cup of hot cocoa of the season. Of course, this snow is not going to help with the premature excitement for the holidays. We've already been listening to "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" since the leaves were still green. The snow will not help matters.

Well, I have to go suit them up again. Did I mention that Gene is busy sunning himself in Portugal?

Happy Holidays! (oops, I guess they're getting to me)
