We have been enjoying an amazingly warm winter here in VA. I am loving it! Don’t get me wrong I love snow but I also love not freezing my butt off every time I leave the house. While we were in Utah I really hoped we would have feet of snow but it only dusted the last day we were there. Ever since then Hallie has been wanting snow. She said a prayer asking for snow and me of little faith told her that it has been so warm it wasn’t likely to snow. (We had had a BBQ the day before. It was like 68 degrees or something!) However, the very next day we had a freak snow storm! The meteorologist hadn’t predicted it and no one saw it coming. No one but Hallie that is. lol We were so excited we dressed up and went and played in it as soon as enough accumilated on the ground to make a snow angel. As you will see in the pictures the kids loved it!! Ky was a bit unsure at first. Mostly because of the big gloves and snow pants he had to wear. Both of which were very new and uncomfortable to him.  The very next day it was 50 degrees and the snow melted fast. Hallie was sad she never got to make a snow man and told God in a prayer yesterday that she wasn’t so happy about it leaving so soon and wanted some more. haha  Life is good!

Dear Snow:

You are welcome to come back. In fact please come back! We have all our gear to play out in you and desire your flakes on our eyelashes and your taste on our tongue. We made sure we were prepared for you this winter with snow boots, gloves, pants, shovels etc. Please reconsider blessing Northern Virginia with your beauty. However, if you are adamant that you will not be returning please send summer a good word for us.

Love, The Crane’s
