The First Snow of the Season!!!

 Sunday, a day of rest.  A day to recover from the craziness of the week and recharge for another.  This Sunday however, we were in for an even bigger treat.  Snow began to fall!  Only November 21st and already a beautiful white blanket began to powder the ground and trees!   So, out came the winter gear.  Snow bibs were tried on and SURPRISE!, they still fit.  Boots were moved down to the next child in line.  Stocking caps and scarfs were put in place and we headed out for our first snow walk of the season.  Hand-in-hand with my man, we sauntered down the sidewalk, as the children skipped ahead singing joyfully, and talking excitedly of the closeness of Christmas.  There was plenty of snow for angels, snow men, and a little mischievousness.  After pictures were taken we headed back to the warmth of the fire, cocoa with candy canes, and a wild game of "Trouble".  This was simply a beautiful day!
