. . . to wake up to snow in a place that doesn't sport snow! We all walked around in a daze while managing to take some photos.
My trio of chilly cherubs . . .
Below is the photo I have been itching to take for a long time but thought I would never get due to lack of snow in these parts of sunny California (about 40 miles east of San Francisco).
This Gilmore Girls-esque gazebo has been crying out for a frosting of snow. (I realize that it's just snow but to us, it's a Christmas miracle!!!)
Instead of doing my exercises, the Little Guy and I geared up and headed out as soon as The Spouse and the Middle Child left the house. As we frolicked in the snow, passers-by would honk and wave and we would exchange very merry Merry Christmases with other frolickers who had been heretofore unknown to us.
Later, when the sun came out . . .
When we arrived home, instead of eating my usual healthy breakfast of hot oatmeal, we snuggled down with mugs of steaming hot chocolate and thick wedges of (gulp!) left over brownies which we consumed in front of the the faux-but-flickering fireplace. It all left me feeling a bit giddy but a goodly kind of giddy one doesn't get to gid about (enjoy) very often.
Something tells me that buckling down to regular programming for the day ain't gonna happen. I declare a snow day!
