Snow!!!!

A couple of weeks ago we got a ton of snow!  Almost a foot in fact and for the Pacific NW that is a lot!  Of course, compared to other parts of the country it isn't a lot but for us, it was a bunch.  We had a great time playing, sledding and going for family walks in the snow!  The puppy loved it and Alison had so much fun!

The snow started on a Tuesday afternoon and quickly escalated to this!!!   It was amazing to watch and the snow just kept piling up!  

This was at about 6:30 in the morning!  She just couldn't wait until after breakfast to get outside!  That is the one thing about not getting snow very often, you have to take advantage of it when it happens!  While she played outside with daddy, I made bacon and eggs!!  And watched from the window with a hot cup of coffee!!!  

(happy heart)

Daddy built the snow up into a big pile for sledding!  Mama even tried it although, I don't remember sledding being quite as painful as a kid as I do now.  ;)

All good things come to an end however and the snow has melted, all except for the few dirty piles about town that were from plowing.  I must say, I really do enjoy the snow and I am hoping that since it is only the end of January...that we get a couple more snow days before spring.  :)
