As much as I grumble about the weather (cold, heat, snow, did I mention the heat and the cold??), I do love the different seasons. Seeing the world covered in snow makes my mind wander to all the fun times I’ve had in the snow, and I smile. And after seeing the winter wonderland through Claire’s eyes, it’s nearly impossible to not get excited about the snow!
Longtime readers of the blog will recognize this photo. It was technically taken this year, but it was taken almost a year ago. Yep…2008 was brand new when we snapped this shot.

Because Winter isn’t officially here yet, but because it looks like this outside, I’m changing the blog header. I just couldn’t wait until the Winter Solstice! This is one of my favorite pictures of Claire, and the outfit still fits. Had we gone out to play in the snow yesterday, this is what she would have been wearing. (Well most of her Let’s Go Play In The Snow Outfit is the same. We switched the boots, because of the incident that shall be forever known as The Beach Incident. Why would you wear snow boots to a beach? It’s not what you’re thinking. Click on this link to find out more.) 
Also, check out the new header!
Let’s just pretend that I took the shot yesterday…and that it wasn’t really 8-degrees (Yes, single-digits in Fahrenheit!! And, it dipped well below freezing last night!) outside…and that Momma wasn’t being a big ol’ Meanie for not letting Claire play in the wonderful snow.
Make-believe is better than frostbite any day…dontcha think?
