Christmas vacation started a week early here. Today we woke up to a blanket of snow. Since folks from the Northwest are not known for their skillful driving in the snow, school was quickly cancelled. That was met with happiness from Kate, disappointment from Ellie (she was looking forward to the all school Winter Olympics) and anger from Jill (she had a science test and now she is going to have to study for it all over again when they get back).
These pictures show the tale of two snow days. Allen gets to hole up in my studio and make his conference calls and the girls and I get to go out and play. I couldn’t talk the girls into going for a walk with me (there were snowmen to be built) but Cooper was a willing partner.
We are looking forward to an afternoon of hot chocolate, Christmas movies and baking. I like it when our crazy plans have to make an abrupt halt for some immediate downtime. Thanks Mother Nature!
