We have been getting a lot of snow lately! Here are some photos from Sunday, February 21, when we went outside and played in the snow! This was Mirei’s first time being in the snow, and she seemed kind of stunned and fascinated by it.

We built a snowman!

A video I took of the girls playing in the snow:
Mirei with a snowball. Ready to start a snowball fight?
Such a sweetheart ♥
Of course, you can’t have a snow day without a snowball fight! Mio joined in and had a blast!
We got our first true snowfall of the winter on January 6th! The girls awoke to a world blanketed in white, which they admired from the window.
This reminds me of how much it snowed last winter, and how we were constantly stressed about me possibly going into labor during a blizzard. The snow is beautiful, but hopefully we won’t get as many snow days this year!
Following this winter’s first snowfall on Sunday, we got about five more inches of snow on Tuesday morning! Dan worked a partial day from home, and in the afternoon, we got to have some fun playing out in the snow in the backyard. (Mio’s preschool was cancelled both Monday and Tuesday, so she got to stay home too.)
Winter wonderland.

Making a snowman with Daddy!
“Hi snowman!”
Mio’s first snowman… though Daddy did the brunt of the work. 😉
I’d missed this kind of snowscape while we were out in California.
Everything blanketed in white.
So pretty… but it sure is cold!
Mio squinting as snow flies while Dan packs the snow. It was perfect snowman snow!
Mio hugging the snowman. I thought it was funny that we didn’t use the traditional coal eyes and carrot nose, but Dan insisted that it was an “albino snowman.”
We had some snow the other day, and we took Mio out to walk around. Our little California girl was a little overwhelmed because she’d never experience so much snow before!

Hands are freezing! I couldn’t find Mio’s mittens that day. 🙁
Coldilocks.

I couldn’t find my snowboots so I went out in my rainboots.
