Winter Wonderland

We woke up to a winter wonderland.  I have to admit it was hard to believe it was going to happen as warm as it has been this week and the dry day we had yesterday.  It started around dinner time and was coming down fast and hard.  The grass was covered within two hours and still falling.

 

Julia enjoyed a snow bowl with her pancakes this morning.

  

The kids couldn't wait to get outside.  We had to wait till after lunch because of the sleet this morning.  The wind and cold was biting, but they enjoyed in nonetheless.

  

As beautiful as it is, it is very powdery, so we can't sled or build with it.

  

And we won't be using our back door today.  I can't believe the size of this drift! Between the wind and snow falling off the roof it is a small mountain!

Julia of course wants to eat it.  She had a great time pretending to be a puppy...
