This past weekend we went to a different kind of winter wonderland. Instead of celebrating first birthdays, we were celebrating a wedding!
It's been a while since I've been at a wedding where I wasn't in the bridal party (or the bride!) but this one was so much fun (and less stressful!). It was weird, because for the first time we had to worry about who was watching the tiny human we'd brought along with us, but luckily some planning ahead of time minimized that problem as well.
So we have some snow. A lot of snow.
A few days ago we had no snow on the ground and now we have almost two feet. For a while, the snow had been light and fluffy, which was helpful for shoveling, but not great for playing. Finally, one night Tom came running into the house. I'd been napping, and he'd been out shoveling.
Although it's snowed a few times already this winter, I'm declaring this our first official snow storm of the new house. Topping in at around 7 inches at our snow stake, I'm pretty sure this isn't going to disappear overnight like the rest of the show we've had this season so far.
While I'm not a huge fan of snow, I will say that having a house makes me enjoy it a lot more than living in an apartment does. I'm not sure Tom will agree with this, since he has the added task of shoveling, but just look how pretty it is!
