Snow snow snow!

It has been uncharacteristically snowy here in Vancouver this last week. A few Vancouverites have been throwing the term "blizzard" out there... which my Momma and Dad both think is pretty silly, especially considering that A) the snow is only 2 inches deep, and that's in the deepest un-melted patches, and B) you can see to the end of our street, 3 blocks down, without having to strain your eyes. The Germans have a good term for what the snow really is doing: "rieseln" - which means it is gently floating down from the sky.

Anyway, today my Momma didn't have to watch any other kids, and since she is done making and wrapping Christmas presents, we decided to have some fun together! We both put on our snow-pants, boots, coat, hat, and mittens, and spent several hours outside in the snow!



First we walked to the little wilderness at the end of our street. There, we built a snowman. His name is "Moe." He isn't very big, again, our "blizzard" brought maybe two inches of snow... in the deep patches. I helped my Momma roll the snowballs for his body. He has eyebrows, and stick arms and a nose that I found all by myself.

My Momma tried to show me how to make a snow angel, but my comment was: "The snow is too bumpy! Let's go walking more!"

So we did. We walked and we walked through the muddy little forest, until we came to a dead end with brambles and big rocks. I decided it would be fun to climb on the rocks. So I did. And here I am at the top.

Ok, this was fun! Time to go back inside. My nose is getting "coldy cold!"
