Carter's First Snow!

It started snowing on Thursday afternoon when I picked Carter up after work and as we walked to the car, he looked at the big flakes and said, "Wow!" Well, Albuquerque received quite a bit of snowfall on Thursday night/Friday morning! So much so that Carter and I had a snowday! (plus, his school was closed...)

While I still had to work from home on Friday, I took a few minutes to take Carter out to play in the backyard. Yes, folks, his very first time playing in the snow! And what would any kid new on the snow-block want to do with that fluffy white stuff? Eat it! So after he ran straight for the shed (which is where we lock up the backyard toys), he realized that that white stuff under his feet was pretty neat!

Couple short videos of our snowday in the backyard below. Any my apologies for the shakiness, I'm just getting used to our new Flip video camera - which I bought for Carter's Christmas Recital (next post!).

Part 1 - Let's run to the shed...and stop and eat the snow!



Part 2 - Now, let's play in it!



Realized soon afterward that his footwear was not appropriate for snow playing, so I asked Matt to grab him a pair of boots when he made his late night Wal-Mart run. And what were his options at Wal-Mart? Camo, camo, and camo. So here's Carter sporting his new camo boots this morning with his fuzzy PJ's...and riding his rocking-giraffe from Grandma C (his look is a little suspicious, because his parents were laughing at his crazy outfit...):
He then got wind that it WAS pretty funny and gave us a big 'ol smile:

That'sa our boy!

Hope you're staying warm and have sensible footwear for the snowy season! :)
