Spring Break

I had great hopes for Spring Break, and it did start off well.  We went to see Jen and Taylor, then Monday/Tuesday, I went to work to prepare for 18-24" of SNOW!?~

Right?


Tuesday, I could not sleep, I was SO EXCITED! I had ALL THESE ideas about snow pictures.

The next morning, I was up at 6, and planning my shots :-D


Too bad that the wind started blowing and all my ideas of snow-laden trees with red barns in the background got nixed.  I did get some good shots though.

FIRST REAL SNOW ALL WINTER (we were in Idaho for the Christmas Eve snow)

JOY!! Is a child playing in the snow

Misha was also absolutely thrilled

Asher had to change clothes three times, as this was very, very wet snow, and the temperature, just above freezing

We made an ombre snowgirl

Several snow angels by my little angel

And we were treated to a pretty glorious sunset

The three biggest little boys really loved the snow too

 I took a little drive around to get some scenic photos.  Although the landscape was truly beautiful, I really wish we had blue skies.

Leah asked for snow pictures way back in LAST April, so we FINALLY had our chance

 It was not the most-restful of breaks, because of all the snow antics, followed by snow removal, and trying desperately to finish what I needed to for work, but it was a really wonderful change of pace.  Many around us had no electricity, some for up to 5 days.  We were so blessed to have had it the entire time
