Let it Snow!

We are really blessed to live somewhere where it snows but only a couple of times each winter. Just enough to still like it. This past weekend we had 5" of frozen precipitation fall, some snow then some sleet then more snow.


It didn't pack well for snowballs or snowmen so we picked up chunks and were throwing them at each other.

We had to make it a rule that we threw it at each others backs or we had to be prepared to catch it so you didn't have the breath knocked out of you.

Tanner was convinced that it was a big snowcone so he just ate it.

Micheal and Clayton realized that if you threw a snowblock and someone tried to block it, the icy block would explode all over the victim.

I happened to be the victim once, and boy was that a cold awakening, like having someone throw snow right in your face. It was fun though! Especially when I got them back:)!








Then Saturday night it got down to 13 degrees and all the roads were a solid sheet of ice so the Stake cancelled church to protect us. So we took the opportunity to make a big pot of Gumbo and then finished it off with some King Cake. That was the perfect meal for a cold day in the snow.
