First Snow of 2011

This week we had our first snowfall of the season. It was hard to believe since we have not even made it to Halloween yet! The weatherman was predicting snow but a light snow just on top of vehicles, etc.
Here is what we woke up to Thursday morning...

It was a huge surprise! James was rushing to shovel the steps and defrost the truck, I was trying to locate snow boots, gloves, coats and hats! It was a surprise but a beautiful sight to wake up to.

Here is our pumpkin I took a picture of when the kids left for school...

The weather man was totally off on his predictions because it continued to snow all day! I think the total was 5 inches, here is the same pumpkin at lunch time..

It turned out to be a beautiful start to what is sure to be a cold winter! I greeted the kids home from school with hot chocolate and Carmel apples! There is nothing better than cuddling up with my family by the fireplace with snow outside! Happy Winter!
