We have had quite a snap of cold weather this weekend. Saturday evening the wind picked up and the temperature dipped down to the teens. Just as we were heading to bed, we noticed that it had started to snow.....the first real snowfall of the season!! We have had flurries here and there, but nothing that has actually accumulated.
How thrilled we were to wake up Sunday morning to see the fields and trees covered with the pretty white flakey stuff. A little snow always helps to put me in the Christmas spirit....and I needed that extra boost of spirit because we had planned to head to the malls for a full day of Christmas shopping. As much as I love to shop, I get easily frustrated with the giant crowds of people....and worse yet......the dreaded parking lots.
Around noon, we bundled up and headed out. As we were driving along, with every intention of going straight to the mall, I could not resist the urge to make a little stop along the way to capture the snowy day......
All these shots were straight from the camera.....this was the only one I had to edit.....a little cropping because she was too far away!
It was such a cold, but beautiful day.....I think it is safe to say........winter is here to stay!

Just in case you are wondering....we eventually made it to the mall.....and we did finish our shopping.....HOORAY!!!

I love your snow princess!!!
She could be wallowing in the dirt and she'd be beautiful! Add a winter wonderland...and she's breathtaking! I love the red around her mouth...baby, it's cold outside!
Lovely my friend! Thanks for sharing!

She is an angel! So pretty.
It does look like Winter is there now in your neck of the woods. It is here too, we are getting LOTS of snow tonight. Miss Grace is hoping for no school.
So happy your shopping is done..mine is almost completed. I detest those dreaded parking lots. Ugh. So not fun. :)

My fav is the close up where I can see her little mitten hand. Oh my goodness she is just precious!

Sarah is adorable in hats! Love the stripes. And I know you are a Gap girl. Grace and Maddie have the same sweater! So cute.

I'm not sure what impresses me more... the photographs, your beautiful daughter, or the fact that you went shopping (and finished) with a child in tow!! :)

Look at that hat! Sarah looks fabulous! She should be on the cover of a magazine! And I admit how jealous I am that you finished your shopping. :)

What great pictures! Sarah looks adorable in her hat and in the snow. Hope you all are staying warm!
So beautiful!!!!! You are taking just stunning photos!!!!
Wonderful pics of your beautiful girl!!!
First snows are the most magical, unfortunately we had ours in November and have been buried in the stuff for a while now. Love the pics of Sarah and her frosty little nose, she's such a doll!
I'm also impressed that you finished your shopping. Yike, I'm just getting started!
It looks so pretty. My dad called me Sunday and he lives in the DC area and said they had gotten some and it made it seem Christmasy. I am in Atlanta...it was in the 60's today, but was cold last week.
I lived in PA when I was in middle school. I went to Susquahanna Township Middle School...my dad was at Ft. Indiantown Gap. I remember how pretty it was.
I forgot to say how cute your little one looked...I love that loooong sweater and hat!!!
Those are such wonderful pictures! Your little girl is such a sweetie! :) My kids would be so jealous of your snow; they are praying very hard for some! :)
Have a good night! :)
Loving the hat, mittens and sweet red nose!
We had our first dusting of snow this weekend too!
Jo

I agree with you, I cannot stand the crowds or the parking lots, this time of the year :(
Glad you got some shopping done, wish you could come here.......
