Snowy Morning

We woke up about an inch of snow this morning. More accurately, Anya screamed "Mom! Dad!" as she ran into our bedroom early this morning, jarring us awake (I thought her jelly fish had finally succumbed), but no, she was excitedly screaming that it was snowing.

As soon as a parent was willing (early in morning, that's usually Chris) they went outside to play and start a snowman.

Here is the proto-snow man Dad and Anya managed before Dad left for work.

Here's the snowman Anya and mom finished about 45 minutes later when it was light outside. We played in the snow, threw snowballs at the (equally excited) dogs, and lazed a bit until we walked to catch the school bus and continued the fun with a snowball fight with school bus stop friends. School was delayed for 2 hours, so many a gleeful kid/family got in some play time before it all melts this afternoon. What a treat. :-D
