...We've had a BIG SNOW!...

...even by North Dakota standards - this was a big one...it snowed all day and into the night and we got between 15 and 18 inches of new snow...on top of the foot or so that we already have...so a very White Christmas it will be...

...Scout and his Papa went out after dark to knock the snow off the deck for the third time - I know you may think it's futile to shovel snow while it's still snowing - but believe me it's not - as it's so much easier to move 3-4 inches of snow than it is to move 18 - YIKES!...

...Scout of course did some playing too - jumping off the new mound of snow beside the sidewalk and making snow angels...I could still see the impressions as I got ready for bed - so I snapped a couple of pictures...

...labeled here so you can see what I see...the faceplant one was funny and I wish I had a picture of his face after he jumped into the snow...

...this was taken at dawn...

...and this one right before school - that's right they had school anyway...just two hours late...boy - was Scout disappointed - he thought (we did too) that he'd get the day off...but he said on his way to school...'Hey - that snow looks just like the icing on our gingerbread house'...

  1. The weather here is also much colder and more snowy than usual. It is very rare to have pre-Christmas snow and two big batches before Christmas is something I can't remember!

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping my children and their partners can get to us on Christmas Eve!

    (And hoping they can get away after Christmas!)

    Absolutely beautiful! I was wishing for a white Christmas but then with my luck I would go into labor in the middle of a snow storm!
