Snowed in... day 2

Okay, so honestly I've never seen snow like this and didn't know what to expect. When people say they're snowed in I laugh at them... until now. I will never laugh again. :) We did get out today but it was so scary, my sister let us borrow her 4 wheel drive SUV so we could get to the store and it was an adventure for sure! Even the parking lot at Target was crazy, cars were finding random spots to just get their cars stopped and hiking in and you know all the scarves/hats/boots were GONE. It was so funny. Anyways, the kids enjoyed the snow a LOT more today and it didn't seem to disapear all that much today surprisingly... it's going to take a few days it seems.. (hey, no laughing, we're used to snow that is gone a few hours after it stops!) By the way, Ariana loved the snow so much she wanted to try to get frozen to death (poor girl needs snow-boots pretty badly) and Alex won't touch it as much... Camden hates it and cried when he sat in it on the porch poor thing. Ray enjoyed it too though, he tackled me a few times in the snow (snow all up my shirt... yikes!) Stinker... overall it was fun and Catherine even got some photos for us! Hope we don't bore you... oh and we found Ariana's gloves after all so that was MUCH nicer.

Oh and by the way, the big Christmas party I was in charge of this Saturday for the ward is now cancelled! Ugh! We had a feeling it would happen, for good reason. I think it's for the best... except Jill now has 6 turkeys and 4 hams and 30 lbs of potatos at her house! lol. We are aiming to have a family dinner on January 10th for the ward and just making it a Winter Party instead. That does mean no Santa though, I'm really dissapointed...


The house was hot and the temperature, well... not so much... lol.



Aunt Catherine stood with Camden for a while but he still wouldn't touch it... he's on the back patio looking at it (standing in a little bit) and that's all he wanted. He didn't want to wear gloves by the way...



See, gloves are magic!!!

Ray tackled me...twice... like I could get away or something! He's fast in the snow!!! Something about Finland for 2 years or something...lol He's a butt sometimes...



See, I forgive him... aww...

See, she's crazy! She started venturing out on her own and sinking further into the snow... she was so soaked when we got her in... ouchie! Hey, it was fun though! Thankfully she was light, she didn't sink to the bottom...


Can't forget Alex now! He did come out eventually but didn't like sinking in... can't blame him..

All that snow really is insane! I think that I MAYBE only remember one time in Phelan being that way! So fun for the kids though! I love the picture of the icicles- it's awesome looking! Oh and I totally know what you mean about the snow being gone the next day...our's is completely gone! Go figure!

We had a ton of snow as well. I still can't get my car out of the garage. THe pics on my page were from 7:30 am, and it continued to snow non stop until at least 10 pm, when I went to bed. IT was nice to have mu hubby home. He had a super nice supervisor who sent him home before he couldn't get home (probably because she is from up here and was leaving too, so it was only fair!)
