This morning we woke up to light snow fluries and bitter cold weather. Hannah noticed the snow fluries after breakfast when she spotted the deer out by the pond. I felt sorry for her because when we did have a bit of snow at the start of her Christmas holiday break from school, she was very sick and couldn't be outside. Since she is well now and today was her last day off from school, I layered her up and grabbed our snow gear and cameras and we headed to the mountains. We knew we were sure to find snow and sure enough we did. It was so beautiful up in the park as usual. The photo above is of Hannah at our first little stop at the sight of snow to take photos. The view of the mountains at this spot was lovely but there was so much more snow coming down the higer up we drove.
If you would like to see the photos we took they will be posted up at Flickr in a little while.

The snow coming down today was so light and the flakes even seemed to be odd in make up. They reminded me of the dust bunnies under the sofa except these could melt. I wished my dust bunnies could.
We really had such a good day today. Hannah's mood has been giddy and giggly all day. I was happy to see that considering school is starting back tomorrow. She is excited about returning to school and I am happy to see that. We never know what attitude a little one might take when it comes time to return to kindergarten. I am just grateful she is looking forward to it. However, they weather forcast for us on Thursday and Friday is 3 to 6 inches in the valley. I told a friend just this morning that it would be now that we would get that snow and the kids would miss a couple of days from school due to snow just when we are trying to get them adjusted to getting back at it. I don't mind though, we have been waiting for the past couple of years for a good snow that would be sled worthy and we could build a decent snowman.
Here's to seeing what Thursday and Friday bring!
