Welcome to winter!

Winter is here! We finally got our 1st snow of the year that is going to stick around. According to everybody here, it is extremely late for winter. They say by Halloween the temps are already in the teens and the snow is already on the ground.

I have been anxiously waiting our first snow and the people I work with thought I was crazy. But of course they know how long the winters here are. I am just like a little kid who wants it to snow so me and the boys can play with it and so we can have a lazy day. Well, unfortunately here nothing stops with the snow. In Memphis this amount of snow would shut the city down for a week. People didn't even blink an eye Sunday morning when they woke up to 6 inches of this white fluffy stuff.

The road conditions were probably the worst I have ever driven in, but completely driveable. I'm just thankful for studded tires. It took my husband using our new snow blower on the driveway and then scraping it with the shovel in order for me to get in the garage. I realized that it is going to be a long winter. It's definitely going to be a learning process and I'm sure it's not going to always be pretty. 

We did enjoy our first snow. The boys had a ball sledding and having snow fights. They played hard and thankfully slept hard. 

Our family pictures for our Christmas cards were taken right when the snow started, so that was perfect timing. The pictures turned out great and captured my little family perfectly. 

The snow is only going to keep falling. We got 6 inches Sunday/ Monday and have chances of snow the next 5/10 days. I don't know if I can truly imagine the amount of snow we are going to have by the end of winter. 

If you don't hear from me till May it's because I'm hibernating!
