Miracles happen

While not quite as much as originally expected, we ended up getting 4-6 inches of snow overnight. Woohoo! Since our roads weren't plowed, I decided to stay home this morning, and now I think I'll just end up staying home this afternoon too. I'll have to burn a vacation day, but we so seldom get a halfway decent snowfall that it's worth it.

Even better, when we took her out for a cold walk (22, wind chill of 3) this morning, Mädchen actually LOVED the snow. She's always cried in the past, but this time she had fun kicking the snow, walking in it, grabbing little handfuls and pretending they were snowballs, etc. Next year it might be time to strap on the skis...
