Its beginning to look alot like Christmas!!

Given that last weekend we enjoyed playing disc golf in 70 degree weather, we were a bit surprised that the weather man correctly predicted snow this past weekend. I don't think either of us are really 'ready' for winter...but Saturday's snowfall was actually pretty awesome. After hanging out in our PJs all morning watching the snow fall, we decided to bundle up and venture out to the trail down the street. The snow was perfect for snowballs, and there were no footprints to be found on our walk, except our own!

As we walked out the door - Julian decided to run out and chew on some grass. He didn't seem to mind or even really notice that it was covered in snow!


Looking back at our house in the snow!


Quite the contrast to the beautiful fall colors just a few weeks ago:



There's a hint of color left on the trees as we headed towards the trail:


The trail was so beautiful in the snow:




While it was pretty, we were thankful that the snow had melted enough to clear the roads (and our driveway!) the next day. We went out and bought a tree and began decorating the house yesterday!


Now we just have to get started with our Christmas shopping!

Love your tree. I mailed Mike's childhood Christmas tree ornaments to you on Monday. Hope they arrive safely.
