First Snow!

Christmas came early for my kids this year! 

 We woke up to a few inches of SNOW!  As a parent, I don't get quite as excited, especially since Spokane doesn't shut down, life continues and you're expected to drive and get to appointments.  BUT today we were free to play!  After Brayden got home from school we met the neighborhood gang of kids out on the hill (which didn't work quite as well as our own backyard)!  There were a few minor meltdowns from cold and ice, but overall it was a BLAST!

I think this is the first of many sledding days to come this year.  We can't wait!
