We finally had our first good snow of the year! There is at least two feet of snow out there making our world look completely magical, peaceful and serene. It's fabulous!
Once the winds had died down we suited up and headed out, spray bottles in hand.
Spray bottles filled with colored water are super fun when you have a whole blank canvas ahead of you. Or the family mini-van. Whichever appeals to you more.
We came in to thaw out.
Chatting wtih your Gramma and coloring are good ways to warm up.
And finally, the long awaited for time arrived. We gathered our ingredients and made the first batch of snow cream of winter 2011!
Mix together cream,
sugar,
and vanilla.
Then add in some snow.
Mix.
Mix.
And enjoy!
Once they were done with their snow ceram they headed into the living room where a tent was built and much playing took place. Taco soup is simmering on the stove and I am getting ready to make a batch of corn bread. It has been a most wonderful day!

When you have an abundance of snow outside like we currently do, there is only one thing to make for snack time....snow cream! Snow cream is like ice cream but much quicker and easier to make. I got the idea from my friend Lori from Potter Six when she blogged about it last year, and decided to try it when we had our first good snowstorm of the year this year. We loved it and have taken to making it with every good snowstorm that we have ever since.
Silly girls!
Into a large bowl add one cup of light cream.
A half cup of sugar.
One tablespoon of vanilla bean paste (or extract).
Mix.
Mix some more.
Add 4-6 cups of fresh, clean snow.
We used four cups today.
Carefully fold the snow into the mixture. Don't over mix or it will turn to slush.
Serve.
Enjoy!
