Snow, Snow, Beautiful Snow

We got snow last night...Actually it snowed from noon to midnight, at some times pretty heavy. Being a stay at home Mom, I find that the snow doesn't bother me as much as it did when I had to drive into the office everyday....for obvious reasons. The last snowfall we got, a week or so ago, melted already and it was looking pretty brown and dirty around here, so this snowfall was welcoming to me.

I've been pretty sick for the last few days. Keith went out to dinner last night with his family to celebrate his step mom's last radiation treatment (yaaa!) for breast cancer. I wish I was there!! I was so bummed I couldn't join them, but I would have been miserable and I didn't want to get my mother in law sick. So after he left and I put Ella to bed, I went out into the garage with my camera to take pictures of my surroundings with this beautiful snow in the back yard. I had been waiting for it to come all day as news reports said it would be 6+ inches for us.

All of these shots were taken hanging out the back door of my garage (except for the one of the grill which is up on my deck. That one happens to be my favorite).

My Snow Baby

It has been so dang cold here in the last couple of days. I am talking' like -5 degrees of a high one day. We have also had a steady fall of light snow that has managed to stick around. Before it got too cold out, Keith and Ella spent some time outside enjoying the winter.

Ella is like our dog. She sees snow and she gets so excited. All she wants to do is get out there and pounce around and kick snow in the air. She helps Keith shovel the walkway and makes snow angels with a smile on her face the whole time.....Full of snoogies running out if her nose and everything!



I love that sweet little cold face! :o)



She's feeling it now!
