In the three winters we've lived where we are now, we've only seen snow flurries a couple times and only once did they stick . . . for about thirty minutes. This is a BIG difference from where we lived prior to this location. Being a teacher, Mommy is a HUGE fan of snow days, but fears she'll never experience another one!
Late on Friday, December 7th, the snow started falling in huge flakes! Ruger had only seen tee tiny snowflakes up until this point in his young life, so naturally he did what any snow newbie would do: he BARKED at it! He wasn't sure what that white stuff was falling from the sky. We northern natives knew exactly what to do . . . wait to see if it was going to stick! And boy, did it stick! Mommy was totally surprised when we went out the next morning at 6AM and we had several inches already. It continued to snow most of Saturday morning and we wound up with almost EIGHT inches of snow! Usually, Mommy thinks snow on a Saturday is a waste of a snow day, but she's so desperate for snow, she'll take it anytime! And it did result in a two hour delay Monday morning! Yippee!
Naturally, Mommy saw this snow day as a photo opportunity! We had recently ordered flannel bandanas from one of our favorite Etsy shops
L and E Boutique, but thought for sure we wouldn't need to wear them until the new year. Mommy broke out the new bandanas because they have snowflakes on one side and snowmen on the other. We looked great in them!

We had snoooooow much fun playing outside! Ruger especially since this was his first big snow! He ran around like a mad man while we just stood and watched him.
You can see how excited he was by the grin on his face below!
Mommy enjoyed playing in the snow too! She said she thought she might cry from the excitement of breaking out her snow boots again!
Once we came inside, we all crashed!
We're hoping this won't be our last snow of the winter, but chances are it is!
