Simple Joys

No pictures for this post. I should have been quicker with my camera to capture our first snowfall in our new house, but alas, it has mostly melted already. It was enough to cover our not so landscaped backyard with a beautiful cover of white for a few hours. It made me smile. Actually I think I might have even whooped when I saw snow coming down. I might be silly, but I love to see the snow coming down. I love how it covers everything in a beautiful layer of white, if only for a few moments. I love the sparkle in my husband's eyes at even the thought of getting out and pretending to be a kid again with all of that white stuff. I love how excited my kids get to find all of their snow clothes so they can go build a snowman, even if it is only 18 inches high. I love kissing little fingers to warm them up after they come in from the cold. And lastly, I love having an excuse for a nice warm cup of hot chocolate!
