We had the privilege of waking up to an inch or two of snow yesterday morning.  Ansley hadn’t seen any snow since she was a few months old.  Allison brought Ansley into our room and I hadn’t even made it out of bed, but I had opened the window to see outside.  The first thing that Ansley did is say, “Hi, Daddy.”  She hadn’t yet noticed the strange event occurring outside.  Allison prompted her to look out the window, where she said, “Daddy, what is that?”  It was pretty cute and I was upset that I didn’t have the video camera rolling to catch it.  This is my attempt to preserve the moment.

We managed to get Ansley all bundled up to go outside for a few minutes before getting ready for Church.  Unfortunately, Ansley did not have any proper shoes for playing in the snow, so most of our time was spent in the driveway catching the snowflakes and playing with some of Ansley’s favorite outside toys, including ‘farmer’, a ride-on toy that plays Old Macdonald, and her bubble mower.  I don’t think that she minded that we didn’t play in the snow.  She kept saying that everything was ’dirty.’  This is also the same reaction we had at the beach.  The girl does not like to get her hands, feet, or anything else for that matter covered with any foreign substance.  Snow definitely fits that bill in Alabama.
