Tuesday was a SNOW DAY!
No school or work for Maddie, Elise, Eric or I!
This is what it looked like when we went to bed Monday night.
We measured 13 inches Tuesday afternoon.
The ski hill reported 20 inches from the storm.
Plenty.
Skiing, sledding, snowman building, snowfort making.
Super Psyched Snow Day Sisters
I love New Mexico -- we got pounded with snow but it is so warm Eric is shoveling in short sleeves.
Gus didn't last. He hated his mittens and soon had frozen hands. He and I spent the rest of the day inside baking, wrapping gifts, and looking longingly at the girls and Eric play outside. I hope he figures out soon that keeping on your gloves is good.

After Eric piled all the snow at the top of the driveway, it became a sledding hill then an igloo. The kids worked hard to dig out a tunnel and then a room. They fit 6 kids in the fort --telling stories and even enjoying a plate of nachos inside. Our 10-year-old neighbor Matt said he would sleep in it that night...but in the afternoon they did a little experimenting -- jumping on the roof until it broke.

After being outside with the neighbors from 8:30 to 4:00, only coming in for a short lunch, Maddie really enjoyed her hot cocoa. It is great to live on a cul-de-sac with kids.
