Snowbirds

So the snow has fallen! Our first measurable snowfall... or should I say the first snowfall that we can make snow drinks out of. Shawn had two last night. It's a family tradition of mixing snow, milk, sugar and vanilla and eating a yummy slushie.

This morning Mickey enjoyed some outside time without my supervision. I had accidentally left the cat door open so he was out exploring. While I was hanging up some Christmas lights he came bounding around the corner very excited with himself. He ran around for a bit more in the snow while I finished up the lights and then willingly went inside because his little paws were so cold.

My only pictures of the snow so far. I have a hard time visualizing photos in the snow. Maybe it's all the white and lack of color. So here are some of the neighborhood quail in the snow.
