First Snow Day

we went to bed with snow flurries

and woke up to this

16 degrees

-3 with the wind chill

church cancelled

no driving in the snow today for this mom

hot apple cider for breakfast

madison waiting to play in the snow

and to try something she keeps hearing all about - snow balls

the girls don't have snow pants

or gloves

we'll have to make do

and we're waiting for dad to get home 

(bishopric meetings weren't canceled)

hopefully it won't still feel like -3 outside

so far we're loving our first snow day of the season
and are very thankful we don't have anywhere to be

note to self: before our next winter storm, buy a snow shovel, a bucket of ice, two wind shield scrapers, gloves, scarfs, beanies and snow pants for the whole family, and socks (since i only own ankle socks). you'll feel more prepared. thanks.
