Valentine's Day Snow!

Since Charles has been a little under the weather, he and I had a restful and relaxing Valentine's Day. I love the pottery bud vase and other Valentine's he gave me... and I know that we will enjoy the tickets I gave him - Grizzlies vs. Lakers. Last night, we watched Valentine's Day - it was a cute movie. When we went into the theater, it was raining, but when we came out we had a nice surprise - it had snowed! Snow was covering the ground and parked cars and snow flurries were still coming down. They quickly stopped, but we had such a pretty snow blanket waiting for us when we got home...

The snow was still covering the ground this morning and everything was so pretty. It got even prettier around lunch time when we got even more snow!

We have had snow flurries on and off all day. This morning, we had just a little flake here and there, but during the afternoon, we had lots of flurries! They were huge and alternated between almost stopping and coming down and swirling so that it seemed like we were in a snow globe! Of course, I had to have our picture taken in the snow!! I was so excited because the flakes just kept falling...

and falling...

and falling!

It was so pretty!

I decided that while it was snowing, we needed to take Toula out. She has played in the snow on the ground before but has never been out while it was snowing, so I bundled her up and took her outside...

We had to have a family picture in the snow!

Then I carried her out further in the yard...and placed her in the snow...She wasn't too sure of what was going on...

She got a little curious about all the fluffy white flakes falling from the sky...

but she did not run and hop in it. She doesn't care for the cold and snow too much, but she is just so cute in it!

She was only out for a little while and then it was back inside to her warm home for her! Since she was such a good girl outside today, she's getting extra run and play time in the living room tonight!
