Winter Wonderland? In California?

So, this morning we all woke up to about 6 inches of white-powdery substance called...snow. This, snow, is very out of place here in this part of California. Example 1: Alex looks out the window during breakfast and yells "Wow! Look at the butterflies!", of course refering to the giant flakes of white falling from the sky. Example 2: Driving to the mall to drop off my lovely lady Brittany to work, we passed by at least 5 accidents on the road.....the mall is a whopping 3 1/2 miles away from our house! lol. Example 3: the kids got all bundled up with boots, gloves, hats, and jackets to go outside to build a snowman....my son Alex had no idea how to walk with winter boots on. In fact, when he asked me if he could go outside, he asked for his flip-flops. lol
So, there you have it. A short, sarcastic story of our morning/day of our California winter wonderland. The kids are having a blast, while the adults are remembering days of Utah, while Brittany and I are getting questions like, "you sure you want to move to Utah?". lol. Too much fun.

Ya, it's snowing that hard

Congratulations on your first real date! That's exciting! And the snow!! We, of course, just got our first real snow, too, but we know that it will be here long into next year...like try May! Joy! The wonder is more exciting when it only happens once every few years!
