A Different December
Last year, we got no real snow until December 31. This year, we are having a snow storm every other day, leading to a very different December than our first one as Minnesotans. The kiddos were ready to conquer the neighborhood slopes in their snow gear:
We enjoyed several runs on the sled. Jack ended each run with the phrase, "one more time." After the romp in the snow, the kids then retired to the dining room for the necessary cocoa:
The snow has combined with below average temperatures to make for, to quote the locals, "an old fashioned December." I'll take it. The pine trees are decorated with snow, and the Christmas lights reflecting off the white drifts of snow make for quite a sight. And I have the privilege of watching tomorrow's snowfall from my home. Since the one down side to all of this was a very slow drive home from work on Tuesday, I'm glad that tomorrow I can stay home!
