I looked out the window and what did I see?


A whole bunch of snow fell Sunday morning. . .okay maybe not a whole bunch. . .but it was about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch before we left for church. By the time we got home from church it must have been a couple of inches! We get so excited when it snows! Every year the weather usually teases us with falling snowflakes that never stick, but it's a real treat when we actually get accumulation! The snow isn't going anywhere fast. Our overnight low is supposed to be 13 degrees! They just canceled school for tomorrow and there is another huge snow storm scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday! I don't think Emily will have school the rest of the week! And guess what. . .next week is Christmas Break! She will have a three week break if that happens!
After church Emily and I put on our snow gear and walked around the front yard. We were hoping for freezing rain after the snow so everything would freeze over and we could slide down the driveway on trashcan lids. But no such luck.
Emily did have fun making a snow angel on the hood of my car, though!


We would never make a snow angel in the grass because we hate when our snow gets all messed up. Ha ha. . .do you like how I say "OUR snow". We're so possessive of the snow in our yard. I hate when other kids walk all over it!

Here's a picture of Emily eating the snow off my car.


And another picture of Emily eating the snow. . .
And yet another. . .

And another. . .


And yet another. . .


Can you tell she likes eating snow?
And here's a picture of Emily after saying, "Snow, what snow? I didn't eat any snow!"


I LOVE the snow!!!! Can you tell how much I love it by the look on my face?


I guess there is one downside to all this snow. We need to do get to the mall for a couple of last minute things for Philip before we can ship him a box. How are we going to do this with all the ice on the roads?

And my favorite picture of Emily. Could she be any more beautiful?
