It felt like Christmas morning in our house this morning

(Sorry about the blurry picture - I took it through our window inside)

As Mike, Emmy and I were still resting in bed this morning, at about 6:45 (Sundays we get up a just a bit later than the rest of the week), we could hear the children saying - "There is snow!, Snow!"  Oh the excitement.

Right after breakfast, the winter clothing hunt began.  I had just sorted through the hats and mittens yesterday but had not pulled out snow pants and snow boots.   Then outside for a time - tracking, throwing snowballs, and just laying down in the snow.

To be joyful  like children on the morning of the first snowfall! - something to strive for.

Blessings to all and warm wishes for a peaceful Sunday,
Tonya

    Aww that's so exciting! There's nothing like the first snowfall of the year through the eyes of children. :) We're still waiting on ours... I don't mind waiting either! :) If it weren't for the younger kids, I think I could wait forever. ;)

    Love,
    Mary

    I always love the first morning that has that "Christmas feel" to it!! We had one last week, and now I can't wait for the holiday season to start!

    Yes, so many of our friends in the northeast had a sprinkling this weekend! We're jealous, though we know northern Idaho's time will come soon -- with a vengeance!

    I live in a part of Australia that never gets snow, so I have never experienced it.
    It's hard to imagine as, at the moment, we are having a very warm spring season.
