Our first big snow together happened at the end of January. The timing couldn't have been better. We moved here in between the two big blizzards. The only problem was that the kids didn't have boots or mittens :( I thought for sure I could get some on clearance when we got there and they don't exactly sell boots and gloves in Monterey so the boys had to settle for what I could find. Drew inherited Jack's old stuff and he had everything but boots. The gloves were too easy for Drew to pull off though and the minute his hands got wet and cold he was very unhappy. He wasn't' very good at walking in the snow so once the gloves came off and he fell down, they were the first to get wet. Jack learned how to stick his fingers in gloves and can now tell you the name of each finger and where it goes in the glove. His were cloth though ( all I could find at Target in his size) so once they were wet he would take them off and want to get warm.

At least some fun was had by all before the cold and wetness set in.
