A little bit of snow

 I grew up in snow.  I remember how exciting it was to get a rare snow day from school.  Spokane was well equipped for snow so to get a day off, it really had to come down.

When we left church on Sunday, the white stuff was coming down hard.  The roar from the kids leaving primary was deafening.  Because I grew up in it, snow for me is not that exciting.  But for my kids, even a few snowflakes give them great joy.  They went outside right after church and danced around in it.  At one point Charlotte and Lydia sat on the front porch, just watching it come down.  Sadly, it didn't last (as it never does here in Oregon) but it was so fun to see their pure happiness!  Days like this, I wish we lived in a place that got just a bit more snow.  But, then I recall trying to drive in it, trying to walk in it, and shoveling it, and I remember why I like living here!

I have been doing some "clean up" scrap-booking for 2011.  It's mostly the stuff that I skipped that I wanted to include in this year's book.  Here are a few:  (ignore the typos...I never discover them until I re-read them on this blog.)
