Mio's first snowman

 

Following this winter’s first snowfall on Sunday, we got  about five more inches of snow on Tuesday morning! Dan worked a partial day from home, and in the afternoon, we got to have some fun playing out in the snow in the backyard. (Mio’s preschool was cancelled both Monday and Tuesday, so she got to stay home too.)

 

Winter wonderland.

I'd missed this kind of snowscape while we were out in California.
