Snow Day 2008

Yesterday we had a really exciting event at our house...SNOW. It rarely snows in the desert so it was a very exciting day. Most of the kids here have not seen snow, school was really crazy for the kids because all the kids could think about is SNOW. By the time the kids were able to play outside in the snow it was dark, but they didn't care. It was so much fun.


Griffin even made a snowman using a cucumber for the nose, raisins for the eyes and mouth, and made freakishly small arms with tootsie pops. The dogs devoured the poor snowman, the really loved the tootsie pops.


Our House the next morning!! We were so suprised to see that the snow actually stuck. And to make it more exciting.. NO SCHOOL, we actually got a snow day!!!


Sammie making her own giant snow ball, everybody run!!!

Manna from Heaven. How special is it to have snow before Christmas. Kids look like they're having a ball...they'll never forget it. Griffin, I think your snowman is very cool. What a great idea for a nose

It looks like your kids loved the snow! Our Victoria likes to go out in it, snowshoe for a while, and then run in and out. I think Amanda dislikes it... after two crashes today! But it looks like your kids got to enjoy it! Have a terrific new year!
