Winter Wonderland

We had a lovely dumping of snow in October. Everyone always freaks out and says, "Seriously--it's OCTOBER! Winter isn't supposed to be here yet!!!" 

We get an October snowfall every year without fail though.
And you know what?
It always makes me happy.
I love snow.

In relief society this past Tuesday evening we were asked to write on these darling paper leaves something we are grateful for then many were read aloud. 
I lost count how many people said they were grateful for their warm homes. 
 I wrote, "The beautiful white snow...."
Fortunately mine didn't get read aloud. 
After all those snuggly gratitude leaves, mine would have messed up the coziness.

But I really am grateful for snow. 

The kids love it, too, and it makes winter SO much more fun.




Well, not quite for Ruby. This was her expression nearly the entire time. All she kept saying was, "I cold, I cold."


Savvy had a blast though.

Never too early to try a snow angel I guess!

Aaand we had to snap a photo of our beloved snowman who melted just moments after this picture. Obviously Savannah is still very attached to her pumpkin and requested to have it in the picture.

As Utah weather would deliver, by Halloween there wasn't a flurry of snow in sight. In fact, we enjoyed a lovely 70* weather day.....

Go figure!

It snowed again the day after election day (which was a tender mercy in and of itself for me!)
with all the snow-angel making outside and the like, Savvy needed two coats so when she went to school, she could have a dry coat to wear. 

Thank you, Costco!
