SNOW!

Recently I have not liked the snow. I think I've lived too many places where it was cold and snowy in the winter (Minnesota, Russia, Idaho, Utah, and Ukraine). I came to Virginia with the idea in my head that it rarely snowed and when it did it only lasted a day or at the most a week and it happened in January or February. I did not prep myself for the snow we've had in the past couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago it snowed about 4 or 5 inches and and it stayed for a few days because it was so cold. I was not happy about that.

Then Friday night it started snowing and it snowed all day Saturday. In the final tally we got a whopping 20 inches of snow, which is a lot for Virginia. At first I was not very happy about it then I decided I should play in the snow. It ended up being a lot of fun! I went sledding and made a snow angel and attempted to make snow balls and walked through the deep snow! It was fun! Snow is beautiful even if it is cold and slippery. It makes the world look so bright and clean! And we will have a white Christmas! YAY!

I love your background. I'm gald you enjoyed being out in the snow. I love snow as long as I don't have to drive in it. Was the snow wet enough to make good snowballs and snowmen?

Kristina is almost begging for some good snow to play in. Bet you could pack up some and ship to her. Of course you the cost of dry ice to pack it up might be prohibitive.

Glad that you decided to have some real snow fun!

Mom is right about your background, it is beautiful.

Love, Papa
