Today was the day of the BIG snow. The weather people have been saying that we would get RECORD amounts of snow! Prepare to be housebound for DAYS! Well, no not really. We did get snow, about 4 or so more inches. A fun amount, not a crippling amount.
Bear says Hi! Snow is good
Winter Wonderland
Can't tell I shoveled the driveway.
Sweeping snow off the back deck
He is having fun. Really he is!
Such a good helper
King of the Mound!
We came in and warmed up by making cookies! Lon was in charge of sprinkles.
A little playing with Legos after lunch
Today was the day for packages! Our first package of the day was from Miss Lindsay. She sent us wonderful Moosemeat, and a bit of salmon. 5 pounds of burger and two (TWO!) roasts. All still frozen solid and now happily in my freezer till we eat them up soon. Our second package was from Theresa in CHINA! Lon got a t-shirt and candy and a panda trainer chopsticks. I got a calendar, Beijing Kids Magazine, two decals for New Year and (AND!) a meter of beautiful silk! I am not sure what I am going to do with the silk yet, but it will be something wonderful! It is so pretty.
Then it was time to go back outside! We can only stay in for so long before we get a little nuts.
We walked and played a bit then we went back home, the wind was starting to pick up and it was COLD!
A beauty shot
I liked the way this looked.
We got an idea to make real snow cones. From snow. (Thank you Julie Griffith!) We scooped up some snow and added the cherry lime syrup I had left from summer Italian sodas. It was yummy!
Then it was time for dinner. I made fried chicken. Lon ate some of it! And liked it! Happy Mommy!

It looks like a good day was had by all. I am glad Lon likes the chicken.
