Thanksgiving

We awoke this morning to a beautiful 2-3 inches of snow! It was wonderful. We went out to the parking lot and let Dakota discover what snow is like. She was afraid and confused at first, and didn't want to go outside. But when she did, she started running around sniffing at the snow and shaking her head to try to get it off her face. Then we started throwing snowballs for her, and she realized she could eat it, so then she just ran around licking it up. Then we went up to the park and went sledding for a little while. Matt made an attempt to take Dakota down the hill on the sled, but it ended with a pretty spectacular crash halfway down.
Today we are thankful for snow, probably selling our car, our warm apartment, our usually great and only slightly frustrating dog, money enough to pay the bills and still have some fun, our loving families 3000 miles away, and finally, each other. Oh yeah, and free pie (from Marilee's nanny family).
