White Christmas...Almost!

This was the biggest, coldest snowstorm we've had in the area in 33 years. I'm so glad we were here to enjoy it. We were fortunate to have heat, water and electricity. Grandma and Grandpa Lamb were out of power for a full 5 days! We were snowbound however and couldn't get down our driveway for those 5 days but we tried to take advantage of it as much as we could stand. Scott had to drive out in the 4wd to get to work each day. We begged him to stay and play. He was able to play during the day a few times before going to off to work so he didn't miss it entirely. We discovered we have the best sledding runs right here on our property. They aren't too long or too steep. We could have opened a snow park IF people could get into our place. Lots of fun! I wish it could give us a big dumping of snow like this once every year. By the end of the week I was thoroughly ready for the kids to be back to school and the snow and ice to dry up. Putting snow gear on kids all day long and running the dryer to keep up with their wet winter wear was for just that week was more than I could handle. We're ready for summer to return now, we've had our fill of winter. It was just so pretty I suppose it was totally worth every minute of it.
