First time playing in snow
We were lucky and got to enjoy some snow this Christmas (as we are in Finland). And of course, we went out to play as soon as there was a little smattering of snow.
Our little one has already experienced snow. A bit more than a year ago we visited Finland right before Christmas, and it snowed. She was too little to go out and play in snow back then, being just six months old, so stayed in her pram just looking at snowflakes dancing around her. Now, a year later, we let her loose.
It was exciting. It was cold. And it was a bit wet too. Maybe tasty too, I am sure I saw someone licking her snowy gloves...
I made her a little snowman. I thought it would be so cute, her playing with the snowman. Alas, she was far more interested in running around a pile of planks and knocked over our little snowman without casting a second glance on it.
Doesn't it look lovely - a baby making snow angels? Not quite what happened here though... As mummy was getting cold, frozen to the core, she tried to gently push her daughter towards the cottage. "Let's get inside, get a cup of hot chocolate and get warm", she said. And if the baby did know how to reply back she would have said something like "NO, nononononono, NO, no mummy, NO". Instead of saying that, she threw herself on the snowy ground, face first, until she realised that was probably not the most comfortable position to be in, and turned on her back.
It started snowing again, and it looked magical. I do love it when it snows. I loved capturing the falling snowflakes, it looks so pretty. After we went back in, it kept snowing, and in the end there must have been about 4 inches of fresh snow, ready for play the next morning.
Happily, all tantrums were forgotten after a nice gift from mummy - a snowball to squish and destroy.
(And mummy did get inside, finally!).
Have you had a chance to play in snow?

Oh I wish we had a chance to play in the snow, my kids hope for it every year and are disappointed. May be this will be a lucky winter for us too. I love your photos and your cute snow baby. Christmas in Finland certainly has snow on it's side! thank you for joining me for Country Kids
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! Hopefully you will get some snow too - I have heard there has been snow in some parts in UK and looking through the linky there seems to be a few other people too that have enjoyed snow there already... Fingers crossed!
DeleteAh, this is lovely! Takes me back to this time last year when we had loads of snow and my daughter was 20 months :) I have lots of similar photos! Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas x #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope your Christmas has been wonderful too :) It is lovely isn't it, when kids play in snow. Especially when there is a lot of it and they can properly play around in it.
DeleteThat looks fun. I love the red snowsuit - very Christmassy! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThanks :) We got the snowsuit as a Christmas gift last year - it is a tad bit tight now, but still goes (just about...).
DeleteI really want my son to play in snow but we are not included in places that got snowed in! He looks so cute! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Oh what a shame! I do hope you will get some snow, I heard there has been some recently, at least in some parts of the UK. Fingers crossed for you!
DeleteSo beautiful, what a special moment in the snow and even the tantrum is cute. Gorgeous photos. We had a little bit of snow here last night but now all washed away. I'd love to go to Finland x #countrykids
ReplyDeleteWhat a bugger! Hopefully you will get some more, it is nice to go out and play in snow, it is such a rarity in UK. And thank you - it was fun taking the pictures even though my fingers were soooooo cold at the end :)
DeleteBeautiful photos - especially the snow angels. I am pleased we haven't had snow in the UK this year - I'm enjoying a year off! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteHah ha, yet that is ;) We've had a bit of snow most years, even in London, so it might still come. Personally I quite like it, just find it annoying that everything seems to grind to hault (atleast down South in London) after a few snowflakes.
DeleteAww, gorgeous images of her exploring the snow. Alas no snow here, just fat clumps in the rain tonight - I think that may be it for us :(
ReplyDeleteThank you :) What a bugger, but you might still get some, there is still January and February, so you might get lucky :)
DeleteNo snow here, though it is very cold. We have played with fake snow inside the house instead :)
ReplyDeleteFake snow and inside - hah, at least you kept warm, we were freezing :) Hope you had a great Christmas!
DeleteAww, so glad you got the snow, it looks like you had a lot of fun. We were lucky to get some on Boxing Day, I love it too, although I did end up with very cold feet ;) Hope you have a wonderful New Year and thank you for linking up to Magic Moments.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing you got to enjoy from some snow too. It does make the scenery just so beautiful and brightens up those dark winter days... Have a great New Year and thanks for hosting!
DeleteAh really fabulous pictures huni! Happy new year x #Magicmoments
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I hope you have a brilliant New Year!
DeleteWhat adorable pictures, looks like lots of fun was had!
ReplyDeleteIt was good fun, and we've been playing in the snow lots since then too. More pics coming up soon! :) Have a great New Year!
