California snow

This week we were thrilled when we woke up to snow and we were even more thrilled to know that it would only stick around for a few hours. Lets all be honest, the first snow is always so magical and fun, but after that, it's just cold wet slop that leaves you chilled to the bone. We're glad we only get the first snow...every eight years.

The girls had tons of fun making a snow man with grandpa and being pulled around in the sled.

She did it!

Anyone who knows Kate at all, knows that she doesn't really do....people... or anything out of her little sphere of comfort...which is very, very small. She just barely stopped crying when we dropped her off at Sunbeams, but hey, it's only December right? However, once she tries things, she usually ends up enjoying herself. So we were ecstatic when she actually went up on stage with her pre-school class (with a little bribing of course) in front of an entire auditorium. She didn't sing with them, but she went up there, and we couldn't have been more proud. Way to go girlie!

Yes my friends...that is Kate there all nestled behind her friends.Kate and her little preschool friends from our ward.

Like I said, once she does it, usually there's a big smile on her face...and now she knows she's headed to Cold Stone ice cream.
