The day the first ‘real’ snow started to fall, Lily and I popped outside for just a few minutes to “say hi to the snow.” Twirling and laughing, running away across the field as I called her name before turning back to run towards me again, she shouted: “Look at me! I’m hugging the winter!” And in spite of myself, out there in the cold with my little firecracker, I cheered for winter too.

Oh. My. Goodness. That’s what Charlotte would say if she saw these pictures and realized how amazing they are. I want to hug winter too…if I can look like Lily while I’m doing so.
These are adorable.
