Our first snow!

It begins...

Sunday morning we woke up to our first Ellensburg snowfall! Most everyone said the first snow probably wouldn't stick, but after church it was still snowing. After our Sunday naps, it was still snowing. After dinner, it was still snowing and everything was completely white! It was so beautiful and even a bit magical. The kids LOVED it and didn't seem to mind having to wear gloves or big puffy coats.

Graham and the kids went out to try and build a snowman, but Hannah just wanted to knock it down like blocks, and Gideon enjoyed body slamming any form that Graham could create. Needless to say, there never was a snowman, but they sure had fun in the process!

Monday morning going to work, I had to basically excavate the car, but I have to admit it was kinda fun! A lot of the snow melted by the afternoon, but this morning it was 24 degrees when I left for work, so everything left turned to ice. All of the car doors were frozen shut, so I had to come back inside for a cup of water to pour on the door. It seems so silly to sit in the driveway for 20 minutes waiting for the car to defrost, only to have a 3 minute commute. But I guess
that's life of living in a small town with snow!
