A certain little four year old has been dying to play in the snow since we arrived home but there hasn’t been any of the white stuff around here until this week! It started snowing a little bit the other morning and as soon as Addie could get her coat and boots on she was out the front door squealing and giggling as she experienced snow again for the first time in almost 2 years. She was so excited and it was the funnest thing to watch and photograph…even though I was FREEZING! Canada is a c-c-c-old place. I don’t know how I forgot this! Brrrr! Alivia’s reaction to the snow wasn’t nearly as joyful as Addie’s. Ha!
When we moved to the island Alivia was only 8 months old so this was her very first experience with snow and as it turns out, she’s not such a big fan. 😉 It took some convincing to get her to come outside to begin with and then when she actually touched the snow she quickly realized it wasn’t her thing. She could not get back inside the warm house fast enough. There are so many things that this little beach babe has had to get used to since our return back to the cold north {ie. having to wear socks, keeping a blanket on at night, bundling up in all the winter gear} but she’s slowly adjusting and I’m sure by the end of winter she’ll be outside running and playing in the snow with her brother and sisters. 🙂

Oh she’s such a doll, Rebecca. Gorgeous
I love your photos Rebecca. The children (and yourselves) will find many rediscovered delights now you are home again. I guess there will also be times you will miss the island life too.
Goodness…so, so sweet!
Your daughter is so adorable! 🙂
Oh my goodness!!!! I glad she was able to experience it dice she was so excited about it. I feel the same way she does. It is so flippin’ cold. Your pictures are gorgeous!
Such wonderful shots!!
Great photos!! I bet it would be hard to get use to the cold and snow!
i love these photos. my 2 year old isn’t a fan of the snow either, but my 4 year old year loves it. not much of it around here this year though.
I can understand why Alivia has little adjustment problems:) I have too every winter and I have born in cold place. I love the first shot of Addie, I wish I could be as happy as she is and enjoy the snow and cold.
Greeting from cold Finland

She’s adorable! I love you photos!
Gorgeous photos, as usual! Thank you for hosting – enjoy your snow! We’re getting cold weather but it rarely snows here in GA. Had a week off last year because of the white stuff, but that was a freak accident 🙂 Happy Sunday!
Your photos are stunning! haha kids are so cute when they first play in snow!!!!
In our sea of love
How funny, love the these shots!!
Lovely winter shots! 🙂
I can relate to it being difficult to readjust to the cold, but it won’t take as long as you think! I love your snow pictures! Beautiful!
Such beautiful photos! I hope she learns to love what is wonderful about each place. I’d love to see a bit of snow here, but like her, after a few minutes I’m done 😉
Thanks for hosting! I don’t know why I always have trouble linking up to your linkies. My photos never show up, but they seem to work on other linkies. I’m sure it’s operator error on my part.

Have a wonderful week 🙂
Oops, disregard my linky comment. I see my pic now at the top of your list. I was expecting it at the bottom. I know it was my fault, lol ;P
i love it!! such excitement!!
these are adorable! 🙂
great shots – my little one used to HATE to go in the snow as well – I think it grows on you right?
I love the variety of reactions to the snow! It would be a shock for your littlest one for sure. Great pictures!
Sorry about having two posts – I didn’t see that you said to link to a blog and my first post was to my flickr photo. I’ll be better next time 🙂
These are so cute!
beautiful girl! so full of joy! xoxo
Those photos are SO sweet and SO well captured. I love it! 🙂 Enjoying the snow here as well!!
These photos are amazing! I love the joy you captured, especially in the first photo. There is nothing like experiencing snow through the eyes of a child. Thank you for sharing and for hosting this wonderful link up!
@StacyCno worries Stacy! 🙂
Your daughter is beautiful ! She’s so pretty in her pink suit ! Seeing her playing in the snow made me smile. I’m sure she will eventually adjust and will rush outside to make a snowman !
this is oh so beautiful rebecca! sometimes i think to myself that i would love to live in a place where it snows, then when our temperature dips down a little lower than normal, i change my mind:) however, my girls would love it!
Your kids are SO cute!! 🙂
And i love your photography…very clean, very clear.
