Well, we watched it snow, and snow, and snow, until I couldn't stay awake any longer. I'm afraid our excitement over the snow gave way to disappointment over dangerous driving conditions that made it impossible for WH to get home last night. Winter wonderland turned to wonder (?) land. Will dad ever be home??? He stopped around 7pm, after seeing car after car either wrecked or in the ditch. I am grateful he got a room; from the news reports others were not so fortunate and spent a chilly night in their cars. He is on the road now, going 40 mph and we're praying the sections of interstate reported closed will clear before he gets there. We're all pretty anxious about being together again.
This is the fire hydrant in our front yard:
I'm guessing we have over a foot of snow to play in, so we are about to put the baby to bed (lest we lose him) and put on the layers- we'll see how long the kids last. I have snow shoes, but not boots, so I'm guessing my feet will be cold in about 6 minutes. There is something about it all that makes even cold feet worth the fun.
In cheerier news, I've finished our family stockings, and they are filled with all kinds of treats I've collected over the last 6 months. I'm not sure who is more excited about Christmas! When my husband does get home, we will have our little family Christmas and open it all so the kids have time to play with their new things before we leave for Florida. More snow pictures to come!
