I'm so loving this...

We woke up to this gorgeous sight this morning.  8 inches of fluffy, white, pretty snow.  I was doing a little jig while out helping Glenn clear the driveway before he went to work.  He of course thought I was absolutely crazy.  The girls were up before Glenn left for work and were dressed and ready to go out in it by 7:45.  They are the same little people that complain about getting up in the morning so we can get started on lessons.  Go figure.  They of course are having a snow day like everyone else today.

 Angels were made.
 Snow caves were built.


 The little snowman is covered beyond recognition.
 Every thing looks so magical.  Reminds of the scene from the movie "The Christmas Story" when Ralphie is out in the back yard.  Love it!

 It's a perfect day for playing with yarn and trying to finish a few projects,
 and sipping on lots of yummy chocolaty mugs of goodness.
I'm having such a great day today.
I hope you are too!

  7. Where's my hot chocolate? Oh it looks beautiful but I don't get all that excited about snow. I think it's time for Texas to trade us seasons.

    Beautiful post, Kar.

  10. Snow transforms everything....You have to be in the holiday spirit now, with all that white fluffy stuff.

    My kids could use a snow day -- they're dragging. I could too for that matter, but my boss -- I'm sure -- disagrees.

    Enjoy your beautiful world.

  12. Your photos are beautiful! Sometimes I wish we could get a little bit of snow down our way, but I know it's just not gonna happen. We have to drive to see/play in snow - along with millions of other people so sometimes it's not so much fun! Lovely to see yours though.
