First Snowfall

We woke up this morning to an amazing winter wonderland!!  It was so exciting looking out at the white ground and seeing each branch on every tree covered with snow!  This is why I LOVE living in Minnesota because each season brings it's own excitement and beauty.  There is just something about the first snowfall.  It brings me back to days of making snowmen and forts with my brother, sledding with friends and making countless snow angels!  Our family did a lot of snowmobiling growing up which brings back a lot of great memories, excluding one time when I rear ended my brother on the snowmobile...that's not such a fond memory. :)  And if you know my dad at all we of course did TONS of ice fishing.  I remember one time it was just my dad and I out fishing and we caught 75 sunfish in 2 days.  I was probably 10 years old but I remember putting my line back in the hole and immediately a fish was on.  It's like we had struck gold!  There are so many great winter memories and even though it gets cold in the winter you can still go outside, play hard and come back inside to a cozy house and warm up with a big cup of hot chocolate!

We are excited to create a bunch of fun winter memories with Caleb.  This year he's a little too young but next year we'll be taking him sledding and I'm sure grandpa Harley will have him out ice fishing.  Below are some pics of Caleb's first snowfall.  Enjoy the snow everyone!
