We so seldom get snow, it's a really big deal and very exciting when we do, even if only a small amount.  The kids went to bed last night praying it would snow and the kid in me was hoping for it, too.  And our answer was plain and simple this morning... it was snowing and school was cancelled!  Benjamin, Catherine and Mary Scott were so excited.  Mary Scott kept telling Brian over and over again while he was getting dressed for work, "Daddy, it's snowing outside!"  They played in the yard for a while then came in for a warm cup of hot chocolate.  All the while, Benjamin and Catherine were begging me to go and get them a sled.  I finally decided to take the plunge and get them one.  The enjoyment of watching them have fun plus all the laughs we've had... it was worth every penny of the $14 I spent.  After purchasing the sled, we headed over to our friends, the Hanrions, to sled with them on this great hill in their front yard.  I captured some great rides on video.  Except for Abigail's bummed up knee after sledding into a tree, it was great fun!  We also went to a local park to do a little sledding.  It was definitely a day of good memories in the snow.
