Let it Snow!

Living in the Sacramento area my entire life, I realize what a unique and exciting thing it is for it to snow here. The second week of December brought that very excitement to us! We woke to find a thin layer of snow covering our backyard. Knowing it will likely be years and years before it happens again, I had to take some pictures to capture the memories.




I was just able to scrape enough snow off the top of our garbage can (it was garbage day), to make a small snowball!
Nathan also managed to put together a snowball and aimed it right at me! Not to worry though, he knows what will get him into trouble, and spared myself and himself any grief!

Kristen enjoyed bundling up for her snow picture!



Grant was also happy to pose in the snow.
I think all the kids were sad when they realized that the snow would melt before they got out of school. They had hopes of buildinga snowman, having a snowball fight, etc. But hey, this is Sacramento, and it's pretty amazing that we got any at all! I just really felt sorry for their teachers that day, whom I am sure had quite a time keeping the kids focused!

See you could live in Idaho, you're even getting used to the snow. I think the last time it snowed in Sacramento was in the
80's.

I wouldn't say we're used to it, but as a one day novelty, it was great!
