gotta love some snow

After not seeing much of the white stuff this winter, last weekend we headed for the mountains for a little sledding and snow frolicking.  A bright sunny day.  45 minutes of driving.  A great family outing ... disrupted only by Natalie's distaste for the wetness of snow on her hands paired with a refusal to wear mittens.  Being three is so tough sometimes!  However, we persevered and managed to enjoy our little snow-cation.

Apparently, we also inspired some lowland snow showers.

Just yesterday the snow fell at our house!

and it caused quite a bit of excitement, wonder, and awe ...
