White Christmas

What fun to have snow all week! There's nothing like a true white Christmas. The kids celebrated their first official day of Christmas Break by building a snowman and a snow fort in the backyard. I didn't see or hear from them for several hours until they decided to come inside and thaw their frozen fingers and toes. Gotta love winter!

What We Woke Up To This Morning

Yesterday we were picking pumpkins, plums, and grapes in the backyard, this morning we woke up to 4 inches of snow! It's still coming down hard, we're supposed to get at least 6 inches by tonight, with more in the forecast for tomorrow. We have some very excited kids -- in fact, the first thing Kate said this morning was, "Mom, Santa Claus is coming tonight!!!!" Sadly, we had to break it to her that, no, Santa doesn't come just because there's snow. Nice try, Kate. She recovered pretty quickly and as I speak the three of them are outside making snow angels, ski trails, and snow balls. Yea! Winter is here!!!
