Snow Day!

It was probably the best thing ever in a long time. Last weekend was scheduled to be a very busy weekend : children's christmas party and rehearsal, shopping, a wedding and reception, church, children's christmas program, Messiah sing, visiting with family in the area, two different couples staying over throughout the course of the weekend, etc.

And, because of eight inches of snow, that all went away. The world came to a halt. What a joy it was to know that we, as a family, had nothing to do except hang out at home together, play in the snow, and enjoy each other's company!

And that is exactly what we did. It snowed all day Saturday and into Sunday morning and by the time we woke up on Sunday, there was 8 inches of snow on the ground to enjoy. Below are some photos of the occasion.

This was taken on Saturday night while the snow was still falling...


"I can't put my arms down!"

According to Jaron, snow tastes like donuts.

I told Jaron he has to shovel his own car out if he wants to drive it....

The snow on the top of our roof reminded me of an ocean wave; I've never quite seen snow do that before.
