First Snowstorm of the Season

All bundled up ready to go out to play in the snow.

We didn't get a white Christmas, but did get a whole lot of snow the day after Christmas! It started snowing around 12:00 noon and was still snowing when I went to bed at 11:oo p.m. We got about 18 inches of snow.

Mom, did you know that I love, love, love snow.

Mom, take one more picture of me sitting on this snow pile.

I can shovel snow just like Dad.

Good-bye Autumn. Winter is here.

I love the way the light is streaming through the snow and giving it a blue hue.

I haven't seen the Cardinal in months. This is the first time I have seen him perched in my tree. The following day I saw his mate.

Mourning Dove.

Dark-eyed Junco eating seeds.

Love his ruffled feathers.

Kaylie spent about 3 hours outside in the snow having fun. She wore 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, heavy gloves, 2 hats and heavy winter boots. However, that didn't stop the snow from accumulating in her boots. Here, you can see the pockets of snow in her pants...poor thing...her skin was so cold and red.

A veritable wonderland.

She is having a blast sliding down the snowpile in our front yard.

On top of the world...well, the snow pile, really.

Our grill...check out the snow accumulation.
