So I woke up to at least 2 more inches!

It never gets old! I love snow!!! There is nothing like waking up surrounded by a winter wonderland. It's magical every time.

Gorgeous! It's too cold to take a pic and still snowing, so I borrowed this one.

This is one of the things I hated most about when we lived in Texas. Winter isn't winter in Texas, it's brown and gross and muddy. BLEH! <3 Minnesota <3 The lack of ex-inlaws in Minnesota also happens to be a wonderful thing.
