Snow... Finally

Eating the "Ice"

I wasn't sure if we'd see more than a light dusting this winter, but this morning's white flakes kept fallin' and fallin'.

Our 3+ inches of snow created very unsafe driving conditions (which got us stuck halfway up a hill in the car), and although it was deserving of a school delay or cancellation, we had no such luck.  

So, that just meant waking up extra early and rushing home after work was a must so that we could maximize our play opportunities in the first "real" snow of the season!

E loved the snow so much that I could barely convince her to get in the car to leave for school.

Look who was completely relishing her walk in the yard through the falling flakes.

Eleanor's First Snow

It was nineteen degrees this morning, and there were beautiful white blankets covering the ground. We almost had to cancel our coffee date with new friends. Luckily, the sun came out and melted enough snow so that we could venture out safely.

She's already the cutest snow bunny that I've ever seen!

Although Eleanor is still too young to appreciate the snow or even know what it is, we're excited about the day when we can go sledding with her and make snow angels together. And, of course, we'll teach her all about wearing her pajamas inside out, which almost always guarantees a snow day around here.

Snow showers are fun!
