Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow!

A good way to spend a snow day is to decorate the Christmas tree. Since we are living in our 5th wheel trailer while the log cabin is being built, we put the tree in the shop. Every year we purchase a living Aleppo Pine tree so that we can plant it in January. This year we were able to get a taller one than we normally do because the shop's roof is 18' tall. The tallest tree we could find was seven feet high. Usually we just get one that is five feet tall. We decorated the tree with only homemade ornaments that Debi has collected over the years.

On Wednesday morning we got another call saying that school was cancelled due to snow. This was the third day in a row of no school! The snow kept coming down all day long. We measured 14" of new snow as of 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon. (There were 24" of new snow by midnight!)

Just a shot of our "home" while the log cabin is being built. Don't worry--it has a heater!

How many people can ride their quad right into their living room? Gary and Debi had a lot of fun tearing around the property on the quad through the deep snow--including a ride through the front door and out the master bedroom door.
