Praying for Snow

Since about Thanksgiving, Anna has been praying for snow, enough to make a snowman and snowangels.
Initially, she was praying for snow for Christmas. When that didn't happen, we explained to her that when we pray for something, God doesn't always say yes. Sometimes his answer is no, and sometimes it is "in My time".
Today, Anna's prayer was answered. The snow started sometime during the night, and by 5am when I got up to go to work, was starting to accumulate. It snowed steady through about lunchtime, and we got about 2 inches of accumulation in areas.
When she got up, she said "God answered my prayer, and He said YES!!". We spent the entire morning playing in the snow. By the time they got up from their naps about 3pm, the snow was almost all gone. It only lasted a little while, but it was great fun while it lasted!!!
