The Lost Bet and The Won Snowday Adventure

We made a bet at work, towards the end of Sept or first week of October of when the first snow would happen in the valley. There were a few requirements for the snow:

1) It had to be in the valley, not in the mountains
2) It had to be real snow, not the slush rain that wants to be snow
3) It had to stick on the ground and couldn't melt for at LEAST 15 Minutes.

I picked the day after Thanksgiving. I know it was wishful thinking but it's been so nice these last few weeks I really thought I had a shot. The snow normally hits us around the Pumpkin Walk (so a week before Halloween) or on Halloween. Well it hit this morning-meeting if not exceeding all the requirements. There were 3 inches of snow on our front yard and it's still there.

While I lost the bet, Heidi Anne won the Snowday Adventure. As soon as Heidi Anne saw it she wanted to go play in it. We told her after she eat her breakfast and get ready first. She shoveled the food in her mouth and was still chewing her toast as I was putting on her gloves to go out. She had to use just normal shoes since she's outgrown her old snowboots, which I thought was fine because she would be back in shortly where it was nice and warm. Right.....

WRONG!! She LOVED it! She was like a fish to water. She was making little snowballs, making trails, and just playing in the snow having a blast. She is already making plans on making snow forts, snowmans, and snow angels, and just all around playing in snow.

The only way I got her in was to promise her she could go back outside later to play in the snow again. Anyone know where I can get some good, affordable, little girl snow boots that can handle Heidi Anne's and her Adventures?
