first snow fall(s) came early this year!

the tree in front of our house has all of it's leaves, still fully intact, on its branches. they're even still green. so are the other trees on our block...but that didn't stop the snow from falling. we woke-up to our first dusting on saturday morning and i put on my snowpants and boots and was out rolling around in it even before i ate breakfast! i was afraid it might melt away... i got at least 30 minutes of good playing-time in before coming in to eat.
