The back patio continues to be a pretty good place for Cora to play in the snow. I shove her out the door with whatever snow toys we improvise. Hazel and I watch from indoors.
Here she is playing with what she calls "scoopers and colors," which is containers of food coloring and water, and whatever kitchen implements--measuring cups, ice cream scoop--I can come up with. I also gave her a spray bottle of colored water, but her little hands aren't quite strong enough to operate the spray bottle on her own.
I haven't turned Hazel loose outdoors at all, but we do bring snow inside for her. Cora always joins in and always makes it a game of "snow princesses," which means bringing all the princess and fairy figures over to play.
And finally, here's Hazel in her winter wear. I got this suit for a steal and blue is Hazel's color, but yes, she often gets called "little guy" when she's wearing this. She's such a little snuggle bug, though! And she is her Daddy's girl--she loves the cold, and when we step outside and that brisk air hits her, she grins from ear to ear without exception--even if she has just woken up from napping in the car. This one's got the Viking blood.

Your girls are cute as they can be. Hazel is having such fun and smiles so richly. While Cora is so serious and concentrating on her task. Reminds me of her mother.
They are so lucky that you are their mom. Letting them bring the snow in to play with. My mom would have been saying, "Stand right there! Don't track that all over!"
Once, we did bring in a bowl of snow to make Eskimo Ice Cream. But no playing around and no mess.
Interesting that Cora goes out to play but not Hazel. Yet you say Hazel loves the cold. When she is big enough to play out in the cold she will be living somewhere with hot summers and warm winters.
Hug them both for me.
