outside

Even though the snow is not completely gone we were able to get outside for a little bit to enjoy the sunny weather. As we looked at all the snow Bill asked when I thought it would be all gone, he doesn't think until the end of April, I really think he will be wrong.

We took Jennifer's scooter outside for the first time! She was very excited to ride it outside. Bill told Jennifer she had to wear her boots but not her snow pants, she was however very instant that she wear her snow pants too.
Mikayla even went outside for the first time since last fall! I don't think she really cared all that much. Jennifer on the other hand was very excited she came outside.

She is sort of wondering what all the excitement about being outside is about.

Anyone home? I believe this happened about five times while she was outside.

Daddy and his girls!

So maybe it was a good idea that she wore the snow pants after all.

Each year, from the first winter that we lived in our house, Bill and I have taken a self-portrait in the snow. The first two years it was just Bill and I, then we added Jen. This is the firs time all four of us have been outside together this winter so this was the first change we had to get a family portrait of all of us in the snow. Because we (really me) didn't want to get in the middle of the yard we are just posed in front of the snow this year, usually we put the camera on the step and get in a pile of snow. Next when Mikayla is a little bigger we will get in the snow.

First of a picture of just the girls in the snow.

I am sort of hoping these are the last snow pictures for the a while!! I can hope right?
