Let it snow...in December!

The weekend of Benjamin's birthday, it snowed 18 inches! I LOVE snow. Can't get enough....as long as I'm in doors with a fire and hot chocolate.

Is it a donut or a bagel?

The first morning, we woke up to even more snow. Zachary, Joel B and the boys' friend next door, decided they were going to shovel driveways. 18 inches of snow, I remind you. While we watched them cross our front yard and culdesac, struggling to get up to the neighbors long driveway, Joel and I talked how we hoped they came home and wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or something. We knew that this driveway would be enough manual labor...so we thought.They surprised us. They really enjoyed themselves and actually came home sweating. They were so excited, so we allowed them to adventure out and do another. Each neighbor was soooo generous. They came home with cookies, hot chocolate, and $50 each!!! It took them all day, and they were exhausted.Then, the next day, Alaina was so excited to layer in several layers and snow boots. Cute,cute. She and Joel B had so much fun. These two are the siblings that are always aggravating each other but they are also the closest...and can have the most fun.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! I want more.
