We received a big snowstorm on Jan. 9. Mackenzie was thrilled to go outside and play in it. It wasn't easy to pack, so we just pushed it together and tried to make some sort of snow castle fort. She also made her first snow angel. When we had snow in Kansas, her Uncle Ryan kept telling her he'd take her out on Saturday when she had her flower girl dress on and teach her how to make them (the day of our sister's wedding). Luckily, that didn't happen. But, since she was all bundled up, I told her it was a great time to make one. Oh, the innocence of a child. I asked her if she wanted to make a snow angel, and she squealed with delight, "Oh, sure!" She was pretty impressed when she got back up and saw what moving your arms and legs in the snow could do. Although it has melted some, we still have that original snow, plus a little more. We haven't had many winters with a lot of snow, so she's been out there a lot trying to make up for it.
