Winter Has Arrived!

On the weekend, we got a huge snowstorm.  We decided that Winter has finally arrived, in all it's glory!  It snowed for almost 2 days straight, and we ended up with much of this beautiful white stuff.  The great thing about winter arriving at the end of February is that Spring is just around the corner, so it makes it easier to enjoy the snow knowing that we won't have it for the next 6 months!

It took Art about 4 1/2 hrs. to plow our driveway, as well as a few of our neighbors.  And then, he headed out a few hours later to plow some more!

It's kinda crazy to think that last weekend, we were walking around with hoodies on in Great Falls, and  it was +8, and a week later, it's -20 with tons of snow!  I am so thankful we didn't have to drive this weekend, and that we went away last weekend!

We all got outside to enjoy the snow....it was beautiful!

 I think the toys the Girls are playing with a snow buried under the snow!

 Here's my backyard...over the hill and through the woods....

 Even Moses loved the snow.  It was pretty deep for him!

 He loves having his picture taken....

This is a truck in our neighbors yard.... my tracks from walking to take this picture were almost covered the next day!

As much as I have loved our winter of not much snow, it was incredibly beautiful to see!  Everything is so white and bright now.  Thankfully, it's supposed to warm up this weekend, so hopefully some of this will start to melt.  In the meantime, it's sledding for everyone!
