The First Snow

Snow is so amazing to me. The fact that you can be outside and there is no snow and an hour later you look outside and there is an inch of it is so cool. It falls silently so is always a surprise. It fell last night, and I knew the kids would wake up and be so excited to see it. They got all bundled up and headed outside for some fun before breakfast. They lasted about 20 minutes before needing to come inside to defrost. The sun has come out now, and it is supposed to be in the 40s, so it will probably all melt. It has been overcast here since we got home, so the sun is a nice change. Hopefully we will get more snow. Last year we didn't get very much, but some years that we visited my parents before moving here, they got lots. It was enough to excite the kids at least!
