Hi Fam,

We now have over a foot of the most beautiful fluffy snow you’ve ever seen. They cancelled church (because no one could get out of their driveways or into or out of the church parking lot) so Dad and I put on all our snow gear and took a walk. It was so much fun! Then we can home and began shoveling our driveway—you know how wide and long it is! It took the two of us (although I’m only worth half a person when it comes to shoveling) over a hour but we did take a few breaks. That wasn’t quite as much fun, but still, part of the Colorado experience I guess. We did covet a few of our neighbors’s snow blowers. Wish we’d bought one last winter but we needed so many other things, and didn’t really think we’d use it too often. We shoveled 2 hours ago, and now Dad is going out to do it again. I’m useless for a second shoveling. If he doesn’t, we’ll be stuck in our house for days! They have already shoveled the street once, but I’m sure they’ll be back for another run later today. The snow is still coming down in blizzard proportions, so don’t know how much more we’ll get. It's been snowing for at least about 18 hours now. We’re hoping for snow like this when Doug and Carly’s family’s come for Christmas. I tried making a snowman but the snow is too fluffy.

Burrowing in,
Mom
