Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

We have obviously been singing this song a little too much around here lately. Our first snow on December 7-8th dumped about 10 inches of snow which did not ever completely melt before it snowed again. Benson was out of school December 8th & 9th because of the snow and then was home sick on the 10th & 11th. It was a long week of us being cooped up inside!


Then on Christmas Eve the snow started again. This time we had blizzard conditions with blowing and drifting snow! We were glad that it was Christmas and we had nowhere to go. We had some pretty big drifts on the north and east sides of our house. Mike took the kids outside on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to shovel and let them play in the snow.


On the bright side, it was fun to have a white Christmas and our outside Christmas lights look even better with all the snow on the ground. You can see the colored ground lights lighting up the snow which we think is a cool effect that we will most likely be enjoying until at least mid January at the rate we are going!
