It's a Wonderful Day/Life

Cason and I were all cozy in bed when Jess gave me a kiss goodbye, and told me it was snowing. I was only slightly conscious, but I remember smiling, and then going back to sleep thinking I misheard him. But then Paige came in to the room and got in bed with us at about 8:15, and I looked out the window at this:

I got us ready as quickly as I could in case it was going to stop, so that Paige and Cason could go out and see it. Cason's first snow:

He had to wear one of Paige's girl beanies, because his was in the car, along with everything else we own.

Paige's first REAL snow she could actually walk in.

She was nervous at first and wouldn't walk out the door, but then she realized I was happy out there, so she came out and loved it. But it didn't last long, because she wouldn't wear a hat OR gloves. She came over with sore red hands, and wanted to go back in and watch it through the window.

It snowed ALL day without stopping, and is supposed to keep going tonight.


Veronica added to the greatness of today by bringing by banana bread, and my mom did some more, by bringing us her chili for dinner.

Lily and Paige watched some Choo-Choo Soul while Veronica and I had hot tea, and Cason fell asleep sucking his fat little thumb.


Then Jess came home, and made our first fire in the new old house.

We are happy. Now we're going to watch It's a Wonderful Life, which I've NEVER SEEN.



P.S.
while I was typing, Paige somehow did THIS to herself. She said she was "stuckie", so I grabbed the camera and got this before I helped her out. It made her mad.
