“Snow” much fun

Recently, the girls and I went out for a rare week-night treat: a trip to the Reston Library! The library's kids program was hosting “Snow Much Fun,” a free event with winter-themed books and crafts. Emilia had a great time listening to the stories, especially Five Penguins Slipping on the Ice, which they had just read the day before in school. Her favorite part was decorating her mittens. She told me afterward that “they are beautiful!” Uncle Corey surprised us with a visit when we got home and Emilia made him let her sleep with her mittens when he read her books and put her to bed.
