Snow(y) Day!

When it started snowing yesterday afternoon and the news people said it would keep snowing all night, we were hopeful that it would be a really big storm.  And it definitely has been.  We woke up to about 15 inches of snow in our yard!  The kids were really disappointed that school wasn't cancelled.  If we lived just about anywhere else, I'm sure it would have been, but that's one of the joys/disappointments of living in Utah.  Snow doesn't generally shut things down here.  The one time it snowed when we lived in Eugene, it was just a skiff, and it shut the whole city down.  Same with Santa Clara.  Oh well.  It has been snowing off and on all day and is supposed to keep going through tomorrow as well.  I just keep shoveling and shoveling and shoveling....

The kids are making the best of the snowy situation - even though they did have to go to school today.

Digging.

Trying to decide if they can tunnel through.

This shot reminds me a little bit of Christmas Story.

Success! The tunnel is complete.  Hallee making her way through.

Amelia looking a little drunk.  Maybe there isn't enough oxygen in the tunnel?

Love the look of the snow falling in front of the camera (and around Duffy.)

Amelia pulls up a seat while her friend, Hallee works on the tunnel.


Snow Angel!
Can't wait to see what we wake up to tomorrow!
