A Winter Wonderland

Christmas evening it began snowing in Norfolk, and when we awoke on the 26th, it was to a sparkling, winter wonderland! Who would have believed that here by the beach we'd receive more than our family in Central Virginia? A whopping 12 inches when all was said and done -- more snow than had been seen in this area for decades we later found out. How appropriate, as this is most likely our last winter here in Virginia.

After a warm and hearty oatmeal breakfast, we all bundled up -- Bear in his fleece sweater gifted from his puppy cousin Harlis -- and headed out for a snow day adventure! Below are some pictures and a video from our afternoon in the snow. We just died laughing at how much fun Bear was having, and how cute he was bouncing around like a little bunny through the snow drifts. How I love our little family. :) 

Our cozy, snow-covered winter abode.

*Somebody* was having a blast eating the snow.

Bounding like a Bear-rabbit. He was HILARIOUS to watch.
