Marcooo! Polooo!

You found us! We are still alive and kicking. We have been preoccupied with other things and have been slackers about posting. Nevertheless, we have returned and have a few fun things to fill you in on. :)
The first was our amazing snow fall in December. About a week and a half before Christmas, we went to bed with the snow beginning to fall decently. I remember saying that I wished it would snow all night. I woke up the next morning to get ready for work and peeked out the window to find between 10-12 inches of fresh snow!! It was quite the sight! I have seen other such snow falls here in Utah, but it still excites me every time.
Check it out!
I love how you can see the thick, puffy snow along all the fences down the street in this shot.

After a bit of shoveling and picture-taking, Ben inflated our tube and hooked it up to the back of our SUV with a tow rope.
He pulled me around the block and then he took a turn afterward. Itwas actually really fun! It was still snowing and we got some snow sprayed in our faces from the tires, but it was still a fun ride. I wanted to stay home all day and play in the snow, but we had to get to work.
I LOVE huge snow falls! If it's going to snow, it might as well SNOW! :)

How fun is that? It's hard to believe we got snow like that one year up here in rainy oregon.

It was so beautiful! We had a pretty good snow here about 1 1/2 weeks ago, but still not THAT good! It's predicted for this week, though. We're all prepared!

That was a great snow! Very pretty when it is fresh. We had about 6" a week or so ago. They are warning us that we could get another big one today through Friday but nothing yet. We are ready got grub and fire wood stocked up, bring it on.
