Brad and I spent the weekend in Colorado for the annual Maintenance Connection holiday party and I just loved seeing the fresh snow on the ground. Growing up in Sacramento, California my whole life we never, ever got snow. I remember one time when I was four years old that it did actually snow. It was magical but it never happened again. If I want to see snow or have my children experience it, we have to head up the hill to Tahoe.
Well, today we experienced a little magic in our own backyard. Brad woke me up this morning with, "There's snow on the ground!" I honestly didn't believe him. They said that it might snow, but I really, really doubted that it would actually happen. Well, it did. And even though it was just a light dusting, it was still beautiful.
Jacob couldn't believe it when he walked outside, either.
Shortly after I took the previous picture, Jacob disappeared into the house. When he came out, he was wearing this.
Abby just couldn't wait to eat the snow (that's all that she did on our last trip to the mountains.)
We had such a great morning making teeny, tiny snowmen and throwing snowballs. Please ignore the fact that my daughter has mismatching, right handed mittens. Like I said, we live in Sacramento, we don't really even have a need for mittens, let alone have them handy and ready to go at a moments notice. I had to dig just to find these two. Hopefully we won't have to wait another 25 years or so to experience snow in Sacramento again!

Wow you got a lot of it! We just had a little here and there, though I had to get pictures of it anyway, as proof. Aw, they are so cute. :)
