I love how the littles first thoughts are to catch some on their tongues.
I love the way fat flakes fall.
I love how everything feels cozy and wonderful and cheery when you're inside and it's snowing.
And I love that in Minnesota, we have early snow days every year.
While everyone is still singing autumn's praises, sipping pumpkin spice lattes, and having bonfires or harvest parties...we've slipped into the beginning of winter, clutching our peppermint mochas and pulling on scarves and mittens. And I love it. Maybe it comes from being Minnesotan, but I've always loved winter. The air so clear, it crackles when you breath it, the contrast of colors and how everything tastes sweeter and smells richer come wintertime, the way the world looks when covered in white.
Yesterday, we had our first snow. It didn't last, because the ground wasn't cold enough, but it will be back. But we pulled on jackets and found hats left unpacked from last year and celebrated it regardless. Here are a few photos from our first snow day. In October. Happiest of Fridays, friends.
Oh, I love this! Snow is beautiful,and so fun to play in. ;) I wish it would snow where I live, but I don't think it is, at least not for awhile. It was 77 yesterday... yeah, I don't think it's going to snow. I love how you captured it in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteTake me there, someone please
ReplyDeleteHappy snow day my dear! We have snow on the forecast for tomorrow, which I'm a little less sure about. Maybe that comes from being a Seattlite. :) Love those boys' faces, fresh and bright from playing outside in the cold air!
ReplyDeletethe snow? it came. and stuck. 3cm. #isthisoctober #inswitzerland
Deleteso magical!
ReplyDeletelove the snowy pictures.. so lovely looking. although I don't like snow at all, I enjoy to sit inside, sipping hot chocolate while I watch it fall to the ground. ;)
ReplyDeletep.s. did I ever mention how adorable sammy is? xx.
DeleteOh.. your typography. Love love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's still 80's here.. So this is lovely to read. :) xo
wow. snow already. dude, it must be freezin there! these pictures are so flippin gorgeous. your little brothers are just so adorable.
ReplyDeleteWOW, snow already?! It's still 80 degrees down here in GA! lol, I LOVE these photos, espesh the ones of the house across the street and the ones of your brothers jumping and playing around and sweet Sammies face :) Lovely post :)
ReplyDeleteYou captured that so perfectly... I'm getting homesick for Washington now! (I'm in Florida for the year to go to school.) I love your real-life style. :)
ReplyDeleteLucky!! I've always loved snow, so much, and I was anticipating all the snow we would get here in Illinios last year, becuase the year before that when we lived in Indiana, it was all ice. Let's just say, we had a very warm winter, and since I'll be spending half my winter in Wisconsin, I'm really hoping that changes.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, were these just gorgeous. You did such a wonderful job catching the beauty of the first snow. Those ones of Sam were just adorable.

Beautiful pictures! Here in Alberta, Canada, we've already got about half a foot of snow. :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, these are some of my favorite pictures ever. I love the way the kiddos are leaning on the glass window looking out, and that first picture with the writing... lovely. :)

Hannah, this is so sweet! That's about the amount of snow we get, total, most years so I can still relate to the kiddos sense of excitement. I remember a few snowier winters but it's a rare thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos Hannah. Snow is always so magical, isn't it? I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeletethese are the epitome of everything lovely. (and sammy is so cute!) thanks for sharing. now i shall live vicariously through you, as it never snows in Mesa, Arizona. xo
ReplyDeleteSnow? In October? That's it - I'm coming to Minnesota. It snows enough here in Maryland, and it's always exciting, but... it's never early enough. :)
ReplyDeleteHannah,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are perfect! They tell your story so well.
Blessings,

ReplyDeletehannah nicole. this is beautiful. this is emotional. this is raw.
ReplyDeletethis is to cry for.
oh I love this, the snow is beautiful. I grew up in minnesota and our family just recently just moved to north carolina, so I do enjoy seeing this:) thank you:)
ReplyDeleteGAH! I love these! :) Annddd...I just have to say two things, 1. just reading the words "peppermint mocha" made me want to drink one! and 2. I think it's so funny that your brother (I think...) was wearing sandals in the cold! Totally something me or my siblings would do....=P I'm sorta jealous of your snow, because all we have is rain here one the west coast of Canada...Anywho, love this Hannah! <3
ReplyDeleteSNOW!!! I love it. I'm a Mainer, so we are used to snow. :) Last year our first snow came on October 31, and it was really heavy! Anyway, I love your snow photos - the snowflake bokeh is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Emily.

ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL I love how you capture all the details and everything. I'm not quite ready for Autumn to leave just yet, but Winter beauty is pretty grand...always lots to look forward to. Life is so beautiful and exciting.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! SO FUN!!! I WANT SNOW!!!
ReplyDeleteah, yes. this is magical. xoxo
ReplyDeleteahhhhh! these are precious. although i must admit that the idea that minnesota is already having snow and it has just now started getting cold down south astonishes me!
ReplyDeleteyour little brothers are so adorable hannah. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! I'm soooooo jealous of where you live!! I have never seen, felt or played in snow....ever!! Where I live (some state in australia) has some great things about it, but it's sooo annoying that it doesn't snow here!! :) Beautifully beautiful photos, just sayin'
ReplyDeletethese are just amazing. i love early snows. <3
ReplyDeleteprettyprettypretty. we're supposed to get snow next week, and I'm not sure if that makes me sad or happy...

Wow, that looks so different, it just snowing in your back yard. I've never been able to experience that before, but it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love all of it.
ReplyDeleteSo precious! Your photos never disappoint. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the snow. We've recently moved from the warm south to Indiana, and I'm desperately hoping for a little more of the sky in my tongue. xo
ReplyDeleteI pretty much adore how you capture day-to-day life in such a gorgeous, beautiful, authentic way. Seriously amazing, Hannah. :)
ReplyDeleteSnow? I am a tad bit jealous. It practically never snows where I live. Beautiful photos!
