Snow!

So this week we had the first snowfall AND the first snowstorm of the season. Sunday night was the first snowfall and we got about 3"-4". Jackson was very excited about it and of course we had to go out early on Monday morning to shovel the driveway and play in the snow. Then last night the first snowstorm came in. They had been talking about it all week and they weren't kidding! Overnight we got a least 12" of heavy, wet snow. It took Brandon at least 1 1/2 hours to snow blow/shovel out the driveway and the sidewalk. Jackson and I went out a little later and spent a few hours playing in it. It was the perfect packing snow and we had such a great time building snowman #2, attempting to make a sledding hill, making snow angels, and having a snowball fight. I had so much fun playing with him. Then the winds started to pick up and the temps started to fall a bit so back inside we went. We are still in a blizzard warning with wind gusts around 40 mph and wind chills around -25. BRRRR!! I guess winter is officially here. Tomorrow's high is 10. We will be hibernating. :)
