Snow Day Portraits

Like the rest of the country we have experienced our fair amount of snow today. It was forecast yesterday evening and Noah was so desperate he prayed for snow last night at bedtime. It didn't look like it would happen though as by the time I went to bed last night we hadn't really had any.

I admit to feeling a more than a little excited at the thought of snow. It really is one of the main things I miss from our time in Canada. I'll even confess that I got in to bed last night but left the curtains and blinds open. Just so I could keep checking if the snow had started whilst I read for a bit before sleeping. I even admit that I read longer than I should have... but there was still no snow before I turned off the light.

Good news though. We awoke this morning to LOTS of snow. Add to add to the children's joy - a snow day! And to add to my joy Richard found my canadian winter boots in the garage so when we went out my feet were toasty warm.

Even though we built a snowman I do not have any of the obligatory shots of it, I do however have some family portrait shots (I've even been brave enough to post a photo of myself even though it's awful and I hate having my photo taken):

Great photos, love the colours against all that white! Still loads of snow in our part of Hertfordshire, hasn't gone above freezing all day. My sensible walking boots have never had so much use.
Also a great time for being a school secretary - SNOW DAYS!!!!

Your pictures are gorgeous! Mine never turn out that well, too overexposed. Lovely snow, but I would be quickly going insane with snow days just after winter break!
