Playing in the snow

It's been a mild winter so far and not too many occasions to play in the snow.  But we've made the most of the opportunities we've had.  She likes playing in her snow-covered outside playhouse and rides in the sled in the yard a little bit.  I always think of the kid in "The Christmas Story" when I bundle Lily up.  I think she looks like a cute Eskimo in all of her snow gear.

One day we only got bundled up enough to get the mail.  While we were out, we saw the plows doing our neighbors' driveways.  Lily was fascinated.

This day, Lily really wanted to wear her rain boots instead of her snow boots.  Since we were just getting the mail, I went with it.  I quickly realized that all she wanted to do was bury her feet in the snow.  Of course she got snow in her boots and all over, but at least it was an easy mess to clean up.  I'll clean snow over mud or sand any day!
