Well did we ever wake up to a surprise this morning! Not only did we hear first thing that the Canadian Olympic hockey team won the gold medal in the wee hours of the night, we also looked outside our window to see a good six or eight inches of snow covering everything!
Many of our friends and family patriotically dragged themselves out of bed at 4:00am this morning to watch the game, what an amazing show of Canadian spirit and love of sport!
Growing up in Northern BC, with it's harsh climates and plethora of snow, I can't say that I'm too fond of snow but there was something about waking up on a quiet Sunday morning, not having to rush anywhere, and seeing a fresh, white blanket of snow beckoning us to come out and play in it.
And play we did!
Sydney and I made a Momma and baby snowman, the first snowman she's ever made!
Then I dug out the snow shovel and let Syd shovel to her heart's content.
She loved filling up her sand pail with snow too. It was quite delightful seeing her enjoying the snow so much. Made me feel homesick for a split second...until I remembered that snow is a novelty when you only have to deal with it for a day or two a year, not for months on end!
What a great morning we had outside enjoying this late winter treat!
