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

Ty and Luke had so much fun playing in the snow! Even a few snowballs to the face didn't keep them from having a great time!

There must have been some magic in this old party hat we found?!

With rosie cheeks, it was nice to finally come inside and get warm!

Freezing Rain

Well, we were supposed to have Stake Conference today, but it was cancelled due to the weather. This is one of the unique things about living in the midwest. It's an interesting phenomenom where the temperatures reach freezing, but it rains instead of snows. The result is a layer of ice that forms on everything. Although it's beautiful to look at, it can actually be quite dangerous. Not just with driving, but with tree branches snapping under the weight of the ice. In fact, last year nearly 500,000 people were without power for a few days due to downed power lines because of the freezing rain. Anyway, it was nice to not have to get up for meetings this morning!
