Let it Snow

We had our first snow of the year and, wow, did it ever snow! It snowed all day Wednesday and into the night. When we woke up this morning we had just shy of a foot of snow with knee-deep drifts (most years we only get one or two good snows of just a few inches each time). We've had single digit temps the last two days, which is unusual for KC in December, but it's supposed to warm up in the next few days. Either way it looks like we won't be grilling anytime soon.


The boys wanted to play in the snow so we bundled them up in layers and let them "help" Daddy shovel the snow. Poor Elijah didn't understand how something that looked so fun could be so miserable. He only lasted a few minutes on his two attempts, while his brothers lasted about half an hour. But after falling down a few times, Eli had had enough.


Brennan spent his time kicking snow back onto the freshly shoveled sidewalk and he made several snow angels. Tanner just sat down and ate snow for thirty minutes. I actually found myself on the porch swing, basking in the morning sun and watching the squirrels in the neighbor's yard.
