SNoW!

I know I'm a little behind on my blogging and I still have more Japan pictures coming but I just had to document this fun day. On Monday December 7th it snowed a LOT here in Northern California! I'm not saying just in the mountains, there was actually snow down in the valley in the Sacramento area and we even got snow here in Lincoln!! Crazy! We weren't lucky enough to actually have any snow stick at our house but we did have some friends in other parts of our town actually have enough snow to build a small snowman. Anyways, there was a lot of snow in the foothills and even more in the mountains. Mark's parents got about 2 feet of snow at their house and Mark just couldn't handle not being there to enjoy it so we loaded up the kids and all our snow gear, brought a few friends...and headed to the REAL SNoW! It was a long drive there and a little tough getting in because the roads were so bad, but we made it thanks to four wheel drive and a big truck! We had a couple hours to enjoy and play and we are so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa Stacy for letting us crash there for the afternoon. The kids had a BLAST! Here are some pics to prove it!

Love this tree! It really is beautiful with the white blanket of snow covering everything!
Madelyn wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow at first, then she decided she liked it until she got it on her hands...she was done after that.


There was A LOT of snow! I was shocked at how the kids just went tearing through it and didn't even care!

The truck got stuck coming up the driveway...so the men had to do a little shoveling. :)


Building the snowman that I forgot to take a picture of once it was done.



It really was a beautiful sight to see! It's been a long time since we've seen that much snow! FuN times!!
