winter wonderland!

this is what we woke up to this morning! i was so excited i threw up the blind in the bedroom and woke up teddy to show him. this is the view from the front room, upstairs.

 of course we had to go out and play in it! lilyanna wasn't too fond at first. i was quite surprised given her love of everything frozen to eat. 

 i made a simple little snowman. 

 a view of the backyard.

 then we had to taste some snow.

 taking a big bite!

 just 4 hours later this is the same view as the photo at the top of this post. 

snow doesn't last long here. i'm just glad we got some at all. and note that blue sky and SUNSHINE! this is so awesome, given our last 2 weeks+ of gray, rainy skies. lilyanna has a great chance of seeing the moon tonight. she's only been asking for it every night since the rains began. she's gonna go crazy!
