Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!

Well we got a phone call around 8am and my first thought was, "Who the heck is calling us so early?!!" And it was a call to tell us that church was CANCELED!!! Apparently it was snowing. We opened our curtains and it was! For those who don't live here, it doesn't snow here very often. It was amazing! SO MUCH SNOW!!!! So we walked around . . .

We walked a few blocks to some friends in the ward and we made a snowman. I made the head and found the arms. I was surprised I participated. It wasn't near the energy I was expecting. Our friends are Jason and Zeyda (not pictured) and their little girl Xiomara.

It was fun to walk around. There were lots of couples out together and surprisingly some cross country skiers! It was nice to get some more use out of our snow clothes. I hate keeping things around that we don't use. We bought snow pants and boots 2 Christmases ago, when we went to Idaho, and I never thought we'd use them again. I felt really cute in my boots and poofy coat.

We have a lot of snow here also. Grandpa put the chains on the car in case we need it. It snowed a little more tonight. Very pretty. We didn't go out in as we are both under the weather. Glad you had fun. Love Grandma

I know this snow is crazy! The roads are terrible. Here I am at work at the UO as well. Stupid school never closes even though EVERYTHING else is closed! UGH!

Our church wasn't cancelled but we got like 13 inches of snow over the weekend. It is crazy. However, school was cancelled for the kids (not that I have any that go to school) and even Dan got to stay home from work today. So perhaps the snow thing is not so bad after all.

Oh! the snow is so nice at first then when you have to get up at 3 am and drive a 100 mile in it before 5am just to see if its safe for others to drive in.
For so reason it just doesn't seem so nice.
Like to day, No school no driving I just loved it.

You look SO CUTE in all those pictures! I love your hat and coat. You are a babe. I love you so much! how is the high school musical music going by the way? Do you love it?

Well, you should feel cute in your poofy coat, I thought it looked great, and I love the hat too!!! CUTE pictures!

Jill said...

The snow made me happy, too!!! Though I didn't look at all cute in my snow-play getup. Too-big maternity jeans, an enormous black coat (because I needed something to cover my huge gut) and a pink Nike beanie hat with tassels. That was probably the only cute part of my outfit. And I basically looked like a beached whale covered in snow the whole time. You two look adorable!
