Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

A few weeks ago we finally had the snow we'd been waiting for. I thought living "up north" meant cold weather and snow. Mostly, it's just been cold weather with little snow. When the little flakes have fallen, they've quickly been swept away by rain or warmer weather by the next day. However, people told Garrett that he was finally going to get his snow one night. And he did. I watched it start to fall that afternoon and it reminded me of a snow globe. The snow continued into the night. When we realized it was truly sticking, Garrett was so excited he went outside in his pajamas. He stayed gone so long I got concerned and saw him just staring out at it. I took this picture from our porch.
