It's A Winter Wonderland!

We have snow!!!!! I know, I know -- for all you northerners reading this, you're wondering, "Hey! What's the big deal?" Snow is a really big deal for us here on the south side of Atlanta, because it rarely happens. This is the first, real snow that we've had since we've lived here in Georgia (5 years). It's hard to believe that we had 80 degree temps a few weeks ago!

**UPDATE**
I have been corrected by the children (whose minds are younger and sharper than their old mother's) that they had a romp in a significant amount of snow four years ago when we were visiting our friends, the Hibbs, in New Jersey. So the picture below is not of Sarah making her first snow ball. I didn't mean to make statements that weren't true! I claim senility!!!



The view out of our front door



Buddy, our very grumpy geriatric dog who walked out and didn't like what he saw and felt on his paws, so he came right back in! The other two bichons were quite a different story -- they had a ball in the white stuff!



Our front walk way



Andrew with the first snowballs he's made in many years.



Sarah playing in snow for the first time that she can remember. She was only 2 when we moved from Michigan to Florida . . .



Christian with his giant snowball.



This is the first snowball that Sarah has ever made!
