I am no longer dreamin'......

...of a White Christmas!

We woke up to a 15 inch blanket of beautiful white snow!

Our poor ugly bush that blooms once a year.

Yesterday, before the snow got heavy I had decided that it actually looks pretty twice a year.

In the late spring when it blooms and when covered with a light fresh snow.

I am afraid that the evening snow is too much for it.

My hubby out shoveling for the 2nd time today!

After driving Tommy 3 blocks to school, it took 15 mins to do so, we discovered that they had cancelled it.

YEAH, snow day!

Milo was beyond excited that he got to have a " SNOW DAY!"

Which totally surprised me.

We always get snow. I think that they decided to just break early for the holiday.

So what do you do on a snow day?

You bundle up and play........

I didn't have to go to work until 1pm so why not.

First off, we built a huge snow fort.

It is imperiative to have one when having a snow ball fight.

Then onto a backyard sledding hill for Lil'.

I am so glad, that I took the time to play today.

I love you Milo and Lily!

Whilst playing in the yard we heard a huge crashing sound.

As we tuned towards the sound we witnessed a tree caving under the weight of the heavy wet snow.

A creek runs along our backyard. One of the trees on the creek bank fell into the the neighbors fence across the way.

We will be having a "White Christmas!"

Thanks to my moms prayers.
