Winter Wonderland- Day 2

Snowing into the evening and thru the night, the second full day of snow was even more beautiful than I could've ever imagined.  Thankfully for me, work got cancelled but unfortunately for Chad, he had to miss all the incredible snowy sights. 

Our puppy Macie had a BLAST bouncing around in the snow...
she even got a kick out of our little snowman!

Thick wonderful snow as far as the eye could see... LOVE IT!





Another view out front... to compare to the snow from yesterday  :)

View of our front walk up... All snowed in!

Taking a drive to see all the wonderful snow, I stumbled upon a gorgeous little lake near our house! 

Never knew it was even there! 
SOOO PRETTY  :)




Even had a gazebo!  Definitely coming back when the weather warms up a bit...

The drive back to our house...

Winter Wonderland...

The morning seemed like any other as I hit the snooze button several times as I did everyday....thoughts of calling in swirling in my head.  Little did I know that waiting outside was a sight I had witnessed only a few times in my life.  Everyday my routine was the same.  Not wanting to wake the sleeping grizzly bear (aka Chad) I took my things to the guest room to get ready for my day.  Today, I was stopped dead in my tracks as I opened our bedroom door to be greeted by a winter wonderland outside the window.  It was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!  As I stood there in amazement, I waited only a few minutes before I turned around and woke Chad to share in my delight.  :)

View from our Master bedroom... What a sight!!

Our backyard...

What a beautiful snow flocked tree!

A tangle of snowy branches.

Afternoon and it's still snowing!

Enjoying the snow while waiting for Chad to get home from work..
Awwww....  ;)



Now that Chads home it's time to PLAY! 
This is Chad getting the first shot in.... lol


that's at LEAST FOUR INCHES of snow!

A pillow of soft snow.

Making my very FIRST snowman...  :)

When we heard that it might snow earlier this week, a slight tinge of excitement arose in our hearts although realistically we knew the possibility was small.  Boy were we WRONG!! 

It STILL hasn't stopped snowing!
