Gratitude and First Snowfall!

The Monday before Thanksgiving, our Family Home Evening lesson was on gratitude.  We made a thankful tree.  The kids were so proud that they each thought of at least one thing.  Evelyn and Lizzie really got into it.  We've hung it in our dining room to remind all of us to add more gratitude to even our meal prayers.  I love that this was a lesson that the kids seemed to really take something from!

That night, and all the next day, it snowed.  Lots and lots of pretty white fluffy stuff coming down.  So on Tuesday, after the girls got home from school, we all bundled up and went out to play.  It was a little rough because it was already so dark, but the kids didn't seem to mind!

Cole was excited about the snow!

The girls cracked out the sled and started making tracks right 
away.  Everyone loved the snow!


I couldn't resist taking this picture.  Cole was decidedly NOT pleased when playtime in the snow was finished!  I felt doubly bad because he really was freezing out there, but he wanted to badly to stay; my choice to bring him in wasn't well met.
