Snow Day

I have been wondering for awhile now if we were actually going to get any snow during this winter season; however, a few days ago the weather reports started predicting it.  Sure enough, yesterday afternoon while Lia and I were sweeping the garage and Ron was working in the yard, the flakes starting falling.  It only lasted for an hour or so before stopping.  This morning, the snow picked up again and produced a lovely inch or two layer on the ground.  Although it was barely enough to count, our church was cancelled (I know, I know, the rest of the country would shake their heads at this, but this is how Washington usually works when the white stuff falls).  As a result, we took off our dresses and put on our snow clothes and went out to play for an hour.  Being the princess that she is, Lia was not thrilled about having to take off her dress and replace it with some bulky clothes, but we compromised by not forcing her to wear a hat or gloves or zip up her jacket.  Oh dear.  Regardless, once she got out there, Lia quickly decided that the snow was well worth the required wardrobe change and a good time was had by all!

Some angels in the making.
 

For some odd reason, Lia decided that our dormant plants and empty gardens needed some water in the middle of the winter. 
 

We normally reserve this stunt for the beaches and the pools, but Ron decided to try it out on the snow.  It seemed to work just as well and brought a huge smile to our daughter's face. 

Here's to hoping for more snow tomorrow!
