October Snow

October Snow

 As my mom predicted the day before October 29th- it snowed... she did have one prediction wrong though... she told Ruthie the night before that she'd wake up to a snow covered ground... but when Ruthie ran into my room- she was bummed to see the ground, was empty... About a half hour later- Ruthie squealed in bed... "mommy, it's snowing!!!!"

It was so much fun to watch Ruthie giddy with excitement for the first snow of the year. We ran around the house checking out each window. This first picture captures Ruthie checking out the snow from our stairwell window.

 Then- it was time to go check out the snow... outside! I didn't even know if we had snowboots that fit- so we just grabbed the first thing we saw... her rainboots! I just love her expressions.

 Ruthie asked as the snow kept falling- if we could go play with Ava outside. I didn't see any reason why I couldn't let my girl share this special first snow with her special best friend- so after a quick trip to Target to get snowpants we went over to the Drakes. Ava and Ruthie were adorable. I just love how excited they were! Reminds me of when I was a kid...

 Unfortunately- Brayden didn't get any "first snow" pics taken... but- I did take him out in it for a minute. :)
