Snow Day with the Lamb Chops

I have been waiting for this day. The Lamb Chops have been, too. Things haven't been too exciting around here. Although, Football Lamb Chop got pretty excited for the Super Bowl.

Wearing her uniform and her game face.

But the winter has been long, the cold weather harsh! Every day, the Lamb Chops stare out the window, longingly wishing to play outside. And every day, I test the snow to see if it is finally packable.

Thinking of all the fun things to do outside.

But today the temperature was a little warmer, and...the snow was packable! I immediately alerted the Lamb Chops, and we headed outside.

Climbing down the steps to the backyard. They all have wool coats, so they didn't need anything extra. Although, I thought Christmas LC should have a scarf since she has no pajamas. Original LC and Football LC charged ahead, eager to play in the snow. The only problem was that the snow was above their heads.

WAAAAAAAAAAAH!

So I constructed some steps for all of them to get up onto the snow. Baby LC smiles at the camera.

Christmas LC got to work making snow angels!

I just had to show this, because I think that's the cutest snow angel I've ever seen.

Meanwhile, Football LC, Original LC, and Mommy LC had a snowball fight. It was two against one, but Mommy LC mostly just ate snow.

Baby LC and Y&A LC made a snow lamb! Didn't they do a good job?
Note: for a while, this snow lamb looked like a gremlin or Yoda.

Then, we all gathered together to make a snow fort before going inside.

Everyone (kind of) fits!

The Lamb Chops had a wonderful time, and we came inside and warmed up and had hot chocolate. But as much fun as they had, they can't wait for spring. It'll come soon enough!
