Missing the snow

While we have been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather lately, I know one little girl who has been badly missing the snow.  Winter is Eliana's favorite season, and every time it rains in winter, she asks why the clouds are confused.  Don't they know it is supposed to snow in winter and not rain?  During the summer, it can take a little convincing to get Eliana to go outside.  She would much rather sit on the couch and play with her toys than go outside when it is hot (unless we are going swimming).  However, when there is snow outside, you can hardly get dressed fast enough, she wants to go out so bad.  She will stay outside for hours, saying she is not cold, playing and eating the snow.  This was the first real snowfall we had in December.  She took her brother outside and played while Magdalena and I watched from the window.
