Let it Snow and Sick as a Dog!

We've been here for 3 months or so and the kids have been waiting for the snow... daily. We told them that January was most likely the season for snow, but the kids have been praying for it ever since we got here. Evidently the kids prayers are stronger than mine because today it snowed!.

I'm sure to the locals this was nothing.. but to us newbies it was a winter wonderland. I personally would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't caught this stupid cold... but I found out that once you're in 30 degree weather, you can't feel anything.

It started out just a cold rain with an occasional flake here and there.. but eventually it really started to snow and actually cover the ground!

catching snowflakes and a cold all at the same time!

early in the flurry he was so anxious to make a snow angle.. can you tell?

Tomorrow it should probably all melt away but it was an awesome way to kick off the Christmas season by bringing in the spirit with this wonderful white stuff!
