Yesterday we saw our first dusting of snow here in our part of Ontario and the kids couldn't be more excited! We bundled up to take our new puppy out for his first adventure in the snow, what a surprise it must have been for him as ice cream fell from the sky! It's part of the reason why I accept winter, I don't love it, but I do love the changing of the seasons and the wonderment of a snowy day!
