snow day

It has been so long since we've seen snow! God blessed us with an unusual snow day yesterday. It had been raining all morning so everything was wet. I looked outside and the raindrops looked a little strange... They were snow flakes! I was thrilled just to see that and didn't expect them to stick, but they started to. I got the boys all bundled up and brought them outside not knowing how long it would last and had a blast watching them stare up into the sky in wonder at the big white flakes falling from the sky. They've never seen snow. This is the desert, so I didn't expect it to last long. God had other plans. It started snowing at about 10:30 am and it didn't stop snowing until around 6pm. By that time we had about 4 inches of snow sitting on the ground! :) It's kind of funny to see palm trees and cactus covered in snow! :) How cool our God is! I am so excited to see snow again, even if it is only for a day or two!
