First Snow of Season!

We were sitting around Saturday night talking over our Thanksgiving dinner and discussing the changing seasons. It was a typically cold November evening, but not unpleasant. Our guest from Sweden was asking about when the first snow of the season will be, and we replied sometime in December. Little did we know that Mother Nature and Jack Frost was at that very moment brewing up a very stunning and very white surprise for Iowa.
We awoke the next morning to a Winter Wonderland: wet, heavy snow clung to every branch of every tree in the forest. The world was hushed and sanitized. It is beyond beautiful. We immediately went out to Lakepointe to see what the new house would look like in the snow.

This is the Great Room: kitchen, dining room, and living room with a push-out porch for a big, soft leather couch. Denali walked around and gave her paws up for approval.


Here's me in my pink snow suit- it is so soft and puffy!

Mommy and I playing in the first snow of the year!


This is the view from mommy and daddy's new bedroom window! Wow!



Just before the storm hit, we got a look at the back of the house just as they finished the windows and the roof. And just in time!

dear Soph,
I am so happy to be here and share more snow. I like the photo of you and your Mommie in the snow so I added to my collection.

You house is spectacular- the abundance of windows opens the house to the woods and your room feels like a tree house- what fun you will have! love, gran

The snow is beautiful and it looks like you and your Mommy are having a wonderful time in the "new fallen snow." Your new house looks great; so much work has been completed. I can't wait to see you in just a couple of weeks. I really like your pink snowsuit- it definitely qualifies as "Pink Stuff" a special category for adorable little girls who are strong, very very smart and too cute for words.
