Let It Snow!

I know, there's all these pre-Christmas and Christmas stuff to talk about, and I do plan on doing that. (Everything went great, by the way.) I've gotten those pictures loaded into the computer, but they need some touchup work and I don't have time for that this evening.

However, the day after Christmas brought an unexpected gift--snow! Big fat flakes, usually mixed with rain and doing little sticking to the ground. No matter. When you get snow, you gotta enjoy it, even if it's fleeting. That seemed to be Benjamin's motto. He had to go out in it when I was home for lunch, then Meron called me at work so he could ask me if he could go outside by himself to play. (Since it's a fenced-in back yard, I said yes.)

Here are a couple of images from the day:

There was enough slush piled up on his toy car there that we were able to scrape it off and make a couple of slushballs with it. Because it doesn't matter if it's December--spring training is only 50 days away and you've got to get your arm ready.

This is him outside with the snow falling around him. I think Meron took the picture from the doorway, staying inside since Sarah didn't need to be out in it. (If it'd been a harder snow with accumulation, I'm pretty sure Meron would have made me stay home so she could go out and play in it!)

I don't know if he was able to catch any on his tongue or how they tasted, but he definitely gave it a try!

More soon, hopefully. Lots of pictures of the kids with Santa, the kids opening gifts, the kids being kids!
