Snow, snow, and more snow...

It snowed all night last night and all day today. We have a pretty good accumulation. School was cancelled so I sent the kids outside and they played in the snow for hours in the morning. After lunch we hiked down the hill to the green van (affectionately known as "Goofy"), cleaned it off, and headed into town. I bought a pair of snow boots for Nate (he was wearing a size 3 on his size 5 feet), a snowsuit and pair of gloves for each of the girls, and a few more Christmas presents for our friends and family. We also loaded up on groceries.

The forecast is calling for more snow starting Sunday and not really ending until Christmas Eve. It's also supposed to stay pretty cold so there won't be any big thaw coming any time soon. It really reminded me of Alaska! Tomorrow is another day out of school for the kids. So far this week they've started two hours late on Monday and Tuesday and been out of school for Wednesday, Thursday, and now Friday. They got a nice early start to their Christmas break!
