The First Snow

God decided we here in Iowa shouldn't ease into winter but get pounded with a snow storm right out of the gate! Owen and Avery didn't complain a bit though! Owen was all about it! He could see it was snowing as soon as he woke up from nap and instantly ran to the window to see it! Then he kept asking questions like, "Is it gonna snow all day long?" "Why is it snowing right now?" "Can we play in the snow when Avery wakes up?" Because I'm the world's best mom (wink, wink) I dressed them up in all their snow gear and warm clothes and we headed out! They loved it! I kept packing snowballs for them to throw. (It was excellent snowball snow too!) We were only out for about a half an hour but it was enough to get cold so we enjoyed a nice mug of hot (more like warm for the kids) chocolate after we ditched all our wet gear! Bring on winter...the Frederiksens are ready!!

Aren't they just the cutest??
