"I Must Be Dreaming of a White Christmas..."

The snow started falling this afternoon and just kept falling. It had even started accumulating down in the valley by the time I left work early this afternoon. I pulled the car into the babysitter's driveway, put it in park, and then slid back down into the street. Rather surprising! After a long, slow drive and some alternative routes because certain streets that had just a bit of a grade were too slippery, we made it home to this pretty view.
Dane was excited to get out and play...
...and throw snowballs at Momma!
The branches of one the trees in our backyard were very heavy with snow, so they created this fun tunnel for Dane.
The temps weren't too bad, so we took a little stroll.
Nora was all bundled up tight and slept most of the way.
Dane and Daddy made this snowman when we got home.
All cozy and warm in bed this evening.
Our most recent official measurement near our home was 8 inches! It has stopped momentarily, but we may still get more tonight. Schools are cancelled tomorrow, but work is not. I'd better get to bed- the drive in the morning could be long!!

How insane! You have more snow there than we do here! I hope you kept your North Dakota clothes :)

Wow that's crazy! Looks like Dane enjoyed it though!
I talked to your mom last night and I do have a snowsuit of Chloe's that is 6-9 months if you'd like! I'll give it to your mom. Looks like you might need it for at home too ;)

Well, glad to see it! You need some snow down there! We are suppose to get another 6+ inches this weekend to add to our 10inches from last weekend...
