Kisses From Heaven

The snow came. With all it's softness and beauty, the snow came! Carolina snow is rare and short lived, but oh so wonderful. Right in the dead of winter, when the grass is brown and the trees are bare, they are, in one night, blanketed in the most beautiful powdery white snow. A blanket formed from each tiny snowflake, falling from heaven and sticking together. It's magical. It's beautiful. It's joyous. And today, we soaked up every minute we could, enjoying this beautiful snow! Not tons, but just enough! ;)
The oldest two kids will remember today with such fondness. And Grady will probably giggle at his pictures in a few years! They went to sleep in the dead of winter and woke this morning to a whole new, magical, enchanting, beautiful world of snow! It was too powdery to make a snowman...maybe tomorrow, if there's any left! ;) But we played, ran, jumped, made angels, went sliding down the slide, made snow potatoes and ate snow cream! Yep! Pretty much the most perfect of all snow days that I can remember!! And until next time, maybe a few years from now, or maybe sooner, we will cling to the memories of this soft, beautiful snow!

Until next time!! And in the words of my sweet sweet children, as the prayed before nap, "Thank you, God, for this wonderful snow." 

" YOU came like a winter snow

Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below."
