MORE SNOW!

Yes, it snowed all night long and is still snowing today. School was cancelled. The kids are thrilled, especially since it has warmed up to 20 degrees! Overnight we got easily over a foot of new snow to add to our previous stack. And, the big flakes are still falling! Can't remember a snow like this in years! OH, man I love it!!!! The hot chocolate is brewing.Ashtyn is blazing a trail for the littler kids to the sledding hill (in our pasture).Our neighbor Dustin ready to hit the snow. His mom dropped him off on her way to town and she couldn't get up our driveway in her 4-wheel drive. He had to walk in and meet Leonard. He came in the house and informed me he'd dropped a key to a lock on his bag in the snow on the way up. I laughed and told him we'd find it in the spring!! :)Abree is trying to follow Ash's path to the sledding hill. We could really lose her in some spots now!Ashtyn is helping Abree through a drift and into sledding territory. Notice how many boards you can see on the fence!

Here is what the back yard looks like! Isn't it beautiful??!!!!


Leonard has been out "farming" snow all morning in the tractor. I'm sure he'll be at it all day once he gets our house, the neighbors, his parents and our friends' houses done. He's really happy he bought a utility tractor with a cab and wonderful heating system this past summer! Makes the work much more pleasant!


Our family from California begins arriving today. Are they in for a shock!!! The California kids will have a great time in the NW sledding this winter!

As long as you are able to stay home and be off the highway, How Fun!!!! We only have a skiff still. The boys just watched the news this morning in awe as they could see how much snow Spokane was getting. They are bummed we don't have much here. Take care and have fun with the CA crew. This will be a Christmas they won't ever forget!
