Snow Day

Yesterday was our first snow day of the year. The weathermen had been predicting this storm all week between midnight and 6 AM and by golly the were right! Amazing. Unfortunately the school district didn't call school off until 4:30 AM... Anyway, we did get about 12" of snow and some blowing winds. Now the only good thing about this, besides a snow day (which was kind of waste considering it was our last day before Christmas break and a half day party day), was that I got to try out my new (30 years old actually) snow blower! Now this thing is a TANK and it cut through the snow like butter. It was awesome! I am never going back to shoveling again. Here are a couple pictures of the afternoon playing in the snow.

Our first real Christmas tree!
