December Snow

We've been spoiled with a real Fall this year, and the snow has been just piling up and waiting to fall out of the clouds I guess, 'cuz this week we got pounded with 3 storms in a row! Luckily, it came Monday morning, our first day of Christmas break. So, we didn't have to drive in it (although I had made a trip to Toys 'R Us at 6 a.m. and I beat the storm by minutes!!) The kids are enjoying it and ready to get all the snow gear on. I'm not ready for the sore back though...you can see the shoveling was tiring as it goes up to the top of the mailbox behind Hayden (no, you can't see it because it's covered in snow!) More coming!

So, here we are enjoying the foot or more of fresh snow right before Christmas. It came so fast that we could only get up our street with four wheelers (and the neighbors all came out to help push everyone home into their driveways while the ladies shoveled the driveways). Glad Nath and I got our Christmas early so I could deliver goodies without getting the jeep stuck-like it would get stuck. That's only when Nathan's driving! We had to make a path for Indi...the snow was as tall as she was.
