You know, I'm not sure we had much snow at all last year. A little here and there. Definitely none at Christmas. So it truly is exciting to be able to make a snowman, believe it or not. And we call ourselves Canadians... Our kids really have no idea what it's like to grow up the way the rest of the country does - no ice skating on frozen back yards, no snow forts, definitely very few snowmen... Yes, our kind of winter has its upside - green grass and sunshine (sometimes), umbrellas instead of shovels, normal shoes instead of snow boots, soccer played outside all winter - but we really do love it when the snow falls. What a treat! (not for drivers, but when the schools close because of snow, we're ALL excited!)
