The Ultimate White Christmas!

As you can tell from two posts below we were already "blessed" with some snow. And that was fine. It could have stopped there but it didn't! We had so much fun shoveling and shoveling and MORE shoveling to keep our driveway clear. When the storm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was all done, I think we shoveled a good 18". That doesn't count the wet snow from yesterday to make sure the drain pipes and grates are clear so there isn't any flooding.

Snow for Christmas is a rare event indeed. And this much for us is just plain CRAZY!! But it has been fun to play in. And we are now ready for it to go away. I'll stop talking now and let you see for yourself.

What we woke up to on Christmas Eve Day!

That's 10" of powder on the driveway :D


Grandpa's picnic table


Off to sled


Being creative


Amber, me and David

What we woke up to on Christmas morning! MORE SNOW!!



Same shot from yesterday. Where's the picnic table?

Our backyard~really it is!





One wicked ice cycle!


Snow Chairs


Amber's snowman creation on the back of Rob's car! The snow was so powdery that putting a snowball together was difficult.

Look at these drifts!



Sledding! Fun Times!!

Josh & Tabitha.

Josh, we love you but you still look like a Teletubbie!!








A beautiful scene before heading inside for a wonderful dinner. We hope everyone had a wonderful day celebrating our Savior's birth.

That is so beautiful! Until you had to shovel it that is I'm sure! But I'm jealous of this white Christmas. I can see by your beach picture that you are already dreaming of warmer weather! Amber's snowman is the best!
