Snow day

Since Tuesday, we've received about 10" of snow.  Tuesday night and all day Wednesday we had blizzard-like winds.  Schools were cancelled and many offices (including mine) were closed.  That meant we got a snow day!  We slept in, Brent made breakfast, we made Christmas cookies, watched a movie - it was a great day. 

From our patio door:

The snow fence in this picture is four feet high.  The evergreen tree is about six feet. 

The local artist created new work while I made cookies. 

It took lots of concentration.

Then, after vigorous scrubbing of little hands, I let him help.  He was very excited.

 

Brent started getting cabine fever late in the day and decided it was time to move snow.  There was a very sad little boy that wanted to help.  This was as close as he got to helping:

Hopefully, the sun will shine and warm the temperature to playing in the snow weather.  Stay warm!
