The forecast called for snow overnight, but there was just a light rain when we went to bed. We woke up at 4:00am and saw huge snowflakes and snow on the ground! It was worth getting out of bed for this. The last time we saw snow here was 11/21/2004!
Unfortunately, Matt had to leave for teaching in the treacherous weather. He said it was slow going on the freeway with many accidents along the way, but no snow in SD.
Snow fell for hours. Kaia loved it and ate quite a bit.
As the sun came up, more and more neighbors came out to take pictures and
and build snowmen.
The girls got goofy and put on gloves and googles for a snowball fight.
Once the snow stopped, we ventured out to drive around the neighborhood. The surrounding hills were coated in a blanket of white. So neat!
It was the perfect way to end 2014!
