Michigan's First Snow!



Boy - were we surprised when we left church Sunday morning and there were flurries in the air. Karleigh squealed in joy, "let's go home and put our boots on so that we can build a snowman!" I tried to explain to her that we needed a bit more than the few flakes that were flying in the air.





Then as the day went on, the flakes would start again - and stop. Poor Karleigh was so disappointed.






Then - at supppertime - it happened. The snow came down harder - and actually stuck to the ground. Within what seemed like minutes - everything was white.






Karleigh begged me - can we go outside? Please? I told her to grab her coat and hat - and we would go outside on the driveway for a few minutes.






Here are some pics of her enjoying the first snowfall. So exciting for a little kids. I guess it makes us appreciate the little things in life.






I am glad that she likes the snow - it sounds like it is supposed to be a wintry winter.
