The First Snow

About a week ago we finally got our first snow.  It was a saturday and we all enjoyed sitting inside, drinking coffee and watching the snow fall for several hours.   There is just something so relaxing and peaceful about watching snow fall.  I love the way it quietly falls and slowly covers the ground in a beautiful layer of white.

Neal ran to the window to look at the snow and said, "mommy snow, that means it's Christmas time."

Later that day we asked Neal if he wanted to go outside and play in the snow or build a snowman.  His response was "no thanks."  We did get to go outside and make a few footprints in the snow as we walked out to the car later that day but that was the extent of our playtime in the snow.  I guess Neal got his fill of snow his first 2 years in AK.  The snow only stayed around for that one day but it sure what pretty while it lasted.
