The first REAL SNOW!

This past Wednesday,we woke up to such a shock especially considering the beautiful warm weather we were all enjoying just a few days before. Snow, snow and more snow. We knew it would snow eventually but we thought it would be gradual , a light snow, and then bam. Oh it was soooo pretty, cold for sure, but pretty. We loved looking out the window to see the piles and piles of what look like cool whip. My boys, unfortunatley have outgrown all their snow gear so we're really not prepared. They wanted to go sledding so bad but considering they had been sick all week it was out of the question. Noah kept starring out the window and said "It's Christmas, it's Chirstmas!!" It was adorable! Brandon shoveled the drive way to go to work and by afternoon, since we have a south facing lot, the rest of driveway and sidewalks had completely melted. Its so nice we always joke that its winter over at our neighbors house across the street and still fall for us. We have lush green grass, our leaves have barely begun to fall etc etc. Now, a few days later, we still have small patches of snow on our yard and are prepared for the next snow- we bought new boots, took the coats, gloves, beanies etc out of storage and are ready to go. And yes the sleds are waiting anxiously in the garage to be ridden! Winter is well on its way!
