First winter's snow


We did not get a white Christmas but that was OK. It made things easier for all that needed to be done for the holidays. So just imagine how surprised we were to see snow this afternoon.

This first thing Autumn wanted to do was go out and play in it. I made her wait to make sure it was going to stick. Of course it is going to stick around she said. She said she had been praying for snow all week! The weather reports just said it was going to rain. When David called from work he said it was snowing there and had traffic all tied up in town.

They played outside for a couple of hours and came in freezing cold. It is still snowing outside a little and looks like at least four to five inches are out there in the backyard. I just love it when it does this and there is no where or anything important I have go do. Chad was so funny. He did not want anyone to "mess" it up with footprints or play in it. He says he just loves how fresh snow looks when it is so clean and white. I don't blame him. The first snow of the season is always magical!
