Walking in a Winter Wonderland

This afternoon Allan, Annika and I went to Walmart to buy the girls winter wear. I know from experience that if you wait until the first snowfall, all that is left is really big fugly gloves and mis-matched boots.

So, we bought Madison a pair of boots, toque and gloves. (Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses ... this princess would have no other!) and Annika a pair of boots and mitts. (Nothing but Dora for this little explorer!)

Apparantly it was a bad omen - because no less than 2 hours later it was snowing, and snowing HARD!!

At least we're prepared ... though I would be more than happy to see the snow melt and not come back for another month.
