Snow on the Coast!

Using beach buckets to gather snow! Ha!

What an awesome day this was!!! We have been missing snow the last couple of years living here and to wake up to snow, albeit not a lot, was great! The girls woke me up from their room yelling "Mom! It's winter"! I got up and went into their room and saw them standing up in the window watching the snow fall. They were so excited, they wanted to go out right away. They have been wanting to play in snow for the last couple of months and it's made us sad, because when it has snowed here, it melts as soon as it touches the ground. We were thrilled to have all that snow!!! We know it isn't a lot, but it is for here!!! We count this as their first snow experience. They were 15 months when we went home to Idaho for Christmas in 08 so they don't remember it. Jeff surprised us by taking an early lunch to come play with the girls. On his way home he bought better mittens for playing. We were so happy to make a special memory with the girls and their "first" snow. Of course it has all melted, but maybe we'll get lucky and get some more this winter.
