First Snow!

We got our first real snow last night.

I was actually looking forward to it.

Probably because we haven't had any real accumulation yet this year.

Christmas without snow is...just not as magical.

And around these parts, if it's not snowy, it's disgusting. Grey, brown, muck. 

We are expecting 8" - 12" which is a decent amount. I mean, we've experienced WAY more (like 7ft within 3-4 days) but this amount of snow does make it tricky for those who have to commute. 

Our kids are gonna get all their gear on and play! They have the day off because of Martin Luther King Junior. 

Steve and the girls went out and stuck a yard stick in the middle of our driveway so we could see this morning how much we got.

There she is. That looks like maybe half-way?

Steve also used the opportunity to take Mila skiing. He took her alone this time so they could try to hit some trails. He brought the harness with him this time and they both said it was a complete success. Mila was able to go down two different beginner trails, Infinity, which is the super easy one and then Southern Cross which is a little more challenging!

I'm so proud of my girl.

Since Ava stayed home with me (I also had a 7:30pm conference call with Australia) we decided to watch a movie.

We got comfy and watched Sleeping Beauty. Ava was rubbing my face for like 5 minutes and I was out like a light.
