Snow Days

We had a great Christmas surprise when the heavens opened and the rain turned to big white fluffy flakes of snow (despite the weathermans predictions). The temperture was still in the 40's but the snow decided to stick anyway...and we had a white winterwonderland to wake up to in the morning. The temperture did drop through the night and I was hopeful Dave would be snowed in but I guess when you are an adult with a real job, the workplace doesn't just close down like the school systems do... so much for snow days in corporate America... (although not a bad idea)!

This is early this morning... so early in fact I caught the sunrise... I don't remember actually seeing a sunrise before my motherhood years... in fact even when I worked as a nurse it was usually still dark in the mornings when I got to work... and during the winter it was dark when I would go home... talk about sad... not seeing the sunlight for days on end... okay enough rambling and on to the real reason ya'll check the blog anyway... the PICTURES.

Not too much later I bundled Cadan and let him experience his first taste of snow.

He wasn't so sure what to think...

It didn't take but a minute before he warmed up to the idea.

A neighborhood girl came over to enjoy the snow with Cadan...

I sat him in the snow while I was catching up with the little girl's mom and next thing I know he had layed down and was eating snow off of his mittens.

This is Cadan's version of a snow angel... he's a natural. Who knew his mom grew up in the jungles of South America and his dad grew up at the beach? I guess there are some snow genes in their somewhere.

Even the dogs were frolicing in the snow.



What an eventful day! So from our short lived time in winterland to you...

Merry Christmas!!
