Snow Days!

Yesterday we got about a foot of snow! It just kept snowing! It snowed so much that not only did they cancel school today but Russ got to stay home too! We ate pancakes for breakfast courtesy of my amazing husband and then decorated our beautiful tree. We played in the knee high drifts till we were frozen and then came inside to thaw with some delicious chili.

I was a little under-dressed but I changed into the plaid shirt above with lots of other woolies to keep me warm! I remember my mom wearing it every winter when I was growing up.

Phoebe loves the snow! She had so much fun dashing around.

Evie also loves the cold, white, wet stuff.

Russ went to town on our front walk. And then remarked,"I could have shovelled our old sidewalk four or five times already!"

Our living room, all ready for Christmas!

Evie's ornament this year is Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars.

Bea and her daddy hung up her first ornament. A little snowbaby angel! Seems even more appropriate with the weather. Poor baby girl was a bit too sleepy to get excited though.

Evie and Phoebe hanging out together. We think Phoebe regards Everett as her pale, less furry brother.

These are from yesterday before it finished snowing. We only had about 6-8 inches then.

Some inside snow day activity.

Seriously! Look at that snow!

He really likes throwing snow at mom and dad.

Our own December wonderland.
