Leap Day Snow!

It snowed all day yesterday and all evening and it was sooooo beautiful out when we got home!  Even though the commute took nearly double the time it usually does, I didn't mind that much because it was pretty to watch the snow.  As we got closer to home, the roads got increasing worse because it was snowing heavier and the plows hadn't made it to our section of town haha.  We dropped our bags inside and went out to just look at our street and yard.  It was just around sunset so it was hard to get pictures to really capture it, but I tried.  We also took Cadi out and plopped her in the snow.  She didn't really do much except snuggle close to Peter's leg for warmth haha.  We got over 5 inches and it rained some then snowed more so even more than the initial 5.  I was planning on waking up and taking some more pictures this morning, but it had rained and was a lot of wet snow throughout the night so the snow that had collected on the trees, etc had melted.  I was bummed!  It was our first really big snow and in hours it was gone :(  I mean there is still snow out there, but it isn't nearly as magical and peaceful looking as it was last night.  

These first pictures are with the flash on....







And here I tried without the flash to see if that was better....
