Snow, in Pleasant Hill?

Penelope keeps asking me to tell her stories that have a "miracle" in them, and once I told her the story of the little kitten who wanted snow in Pleasant Hill, so she went to santa to ask him for snow. This morning it really looked like snow... the frost was covering all the grass on the golf course and the entire ground was white. For those of you blog fans on the East Coast I know you are chuckling because we get so excited about anything remotely resembling snow, but for you Californians you know how exciting it is. Even Brett commented about it this morning and we both said, remember when it DID snow here? in NINETEEN SEVENTY-FIVE! Yea, we both vividly remember, we were totally little kids but it was the ONLY time it ever snowed at our house. So there you go. I remember I had to wrap socks on my hands because I didn't even own a pair of gloves.



I found Penelope's old Santa suit when SHE was 2 years old, and Millie immediately wanted to put it on and be Santa.... She donned the hat and rode on Rudolph and sang the song. It was adorable. 2 is so fun.



Penelope just adores her aunt Jules, fantastic photographer gal that she is, and wants to be a photographer just like her (in fact, Penelope and Millie are featured on her blog today! www.julesbianchi.com/blog). So she got ahold of my digital camera and went to work. Here are some samples:
