A Winter Wonderland...

So I realized that I just created a post just two days ago regarding all my favorite things about this time of the year...How silly of me to forget to include SNOW on my list!  It's been snowing in the mts. for a few days, but this morning we awoke to a winter wonderland!  We had about 8-10 inches of snow on the ground as the sun was starting to rise.

I made Riley come downstairs to look out the window as soon as he got up today and the poor kid was bummed that he didn't have a snow day and that it would most likely be melted by the time he gets home.  Then Kendall woke up and I showed her too.  She said "Dat 'now Momma!  Dat 'now on the trees!"



After we dropped Riley off at school, we both got bundled up and headed outside with Penton to make snow angels, throw snowballs and make a snowman!  I don't know who had more fun, my kid or my dog!  You'd never know Penton is 77 in dog years!  She ran around like a nut!  She loves to roll around in the snow and catch snowballs!
So excited to finally get a chance to wear her new snowsuit and boots!

Once she got a taste of it, she kept on eating it...I had to teach her about yellow snow...Penton had been out earlier in the morning!

Yummy!

Penton has always loved the snow...She use to beg us to come outside in it and play with her when we first adopted her!  Somethings haven't changed!

My little Snow Bunny!

Trying out the sliding board in the snow...

She couldn't get out once she came down.  She reminded me of Ralphie's little brother from the movie The Christmas Story!

Check out the dumping on the mountains this morning!  Been looking like that for the past few days.  Can't wait to hear total amounts in the canyons!

Kendall made a new friend today.  Sadly, Mr. Snowman didn't survive much longer than lunchtime.  The sun came out and he suffered from heat stroke...

I think my tomatoes might be done after this snow...unfortunately I still had a LOT of 'maters left on the plants!

I was really hoping to can some sauce and salsa!  Oh well...What can I do about it now?
