Today is an important day.  Not just because of the USA’s change of power and that our new president is the first African American of our history, but because today it snowed!  Which, therefore marks history in our little family’s memories as it was Savannah’s first experience with it. And, Mark and I were just plain excited to see snow again as it’s not been around these parts for a few years besides flurries. To see snow stick is amazing!  Mark tried to go to work but couldn’t get there and had to turn around so he got to experience this first with us. And we only have 2 inches or less. Go ahead and laugh, Northerners.  It’s not a whole lot, but enough to still enjoy the beauty and fun of it.

Behold our snow bunny, who just finished her first sled ride. Clearly, she’s ready to go again:

And then she discovered that snow tastes good. And she wouldn’t stop eating it, even to sled or play. “It’s yummy, mmm good!:

Also? Thank goodness for hand me downs. Since we hadn’t seen a “good” snow (again, you may laugh if you wish) in years I didn’t think to buy any snow gear. But, I remembered I saw a snow suit in her stash of hand me downs some where, and it was just the right size!  I was stumped with what to do about snow boots, we definitely don’t have any of those, and then I remembered that Kaylee had given Savannah her old pair of Barbie boots that would work (although, they are still too big).  They aren’t made for snow but they definitely do the job better than tennis shoes! And me? I’ve yet to unpack my snow gear (except my snow boots) from my college days in the mountains, so I had to do with 3 pairs of pants on (boy, I looked more meaty than normal).

And so that’s our excitment of the day.  Making memories. And dealing with the worse melt-down (no pun intended) of this new year when we had to come inside because her little cheeks and hands were freezing. Eventually watching snow fall through the window was good enough.
