First Snow of the Season!

We were pleasantly surprised when we woke up this morning to a blanket of newly fallen snow. It's hard to believe that it was pushing 90 degrees here just a week ago! The boys were super excited to see the snow. They immediately wanted to go outside. As soon as they were all bundled up, Preston and Jackson headed out to the backyard to shovel and throw snowballs. Austin had to content himself with watching from the back window. Soon after the boys headed out back, our neighbor came to collect them to go make snowmen across the street. They made three huge snowmen with their two best friends and then proceeded to knock them down in an exciting snowball fight. It was a perfect wet snow for making snowmen. Usually our snow is so dry that you can't make anything out of it. They then made an awesome snow fort in our neighbors backyard. It included a snow slide, a tunnel, and a basketball hoop! It was all topped off with hot chocolate afterwards. Snow fun!
