SNOW!!

I can't believe we woke up this morning to a couple inches of SNOW!!
This is the view of our street...


This is the view from my kitchen window...


These are the trees in our yard. The berries against the snow are so striking.
The kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. This is their first REAL snow experience.
.Sadie was really afraid of the snow at first.
But even she was won over by the fluffy white stuff. It didn't take the kids long to discover all the fun things you could do in the snow: Snow ball fights behind "forts", building a snowman, and even sledding on a hand-me-down body board.
A week ago today it was over 80 degrees. Now this. Wow!

Oh how fun! I can't wait for Tanner to see the snow in Utah this year. I bet your kids are in heaven. We woke up to wind this morning and were super excited that we had something different than just plain sunshine. Hope you guys are doing well! We miss you!

P.S. Better change your Fall background to winter.

I can't believe your kids managed to do so much in such a thin layer of snow. Wait till they see what they can do in foot of snow! Still it is impressive how early you got it there. Our first snow usually comes in early November.
