Now, this is what we woke up to this morning............

So far, we have had 25 inches of snow (measured in our driveway before each shoveling session). Snow chains are required to get around on "the hill" where we live and the direct road that leads to our house is closed.
Needless to say, school was canceled (and all the classes at the gym too.....crappy).
Today was supposed to be Daddy day in Gabe's kindergarten class. The dad's were invited to come make gingerbread houses with the kids. In anticipation of the closure, I went to the store last night (only because I was already across the street at the gym) and got graham crackers and candy so we could have our own gingerbread house decorating party at home.

The kids had a great time. Gabe titled his house "gingerbread dance party." It's the one with the flat roof and all the "people dancing." Cael's could be titled....."eat as much candy as I can instead of putting it on the house (two for me....one for the house, etc.)."
All in all it has been a really fun day. The kids spent hours in the snow (at least Gabe and Cael did while Isaac was taking his morning nap) and loved every minute of it.
I am so thankful Rob didn't HAVE to go anywhere today. I would have hated to see him go out in this.
Another 6 inches is expected on Sunday.
We may never get out.......Our neighbor said, "see you next spring." He's probably right!
As long as we get out before next Saturday (when we will be leaving to visit my family in Utah) I will be happy.
It's a good thing I finished Christmas shopping early this year.

You are such a great mom to get the gingerbread stuff in case it snowed. I love it. It looks like they had such a great time. I think I will stop complaining about the snow we got because you guys have a lot more.
That snow is crazy! That same storm is supposed to hit us today. Andrew Benson's wedding is up here in SLC (reception is in Taylorsville), so I am glad I don't have to go far...but Mom, Dad, Stacy, Chad, Jenn, Mario, Josh and Ira all have to drive in it. You did a great job of planning a day in. You are awesome! Can't wait until you guys are here. Are you driving or flying?
I can't believe how much snow you guys have! Oh my goodness! I hope you can get out. :)
I loved that you shoveled the walk with a garden shovel. That had to be fun! I know I probably wouldn't like it for long...but I am jealous of that snow. My boys have been dying to go out and play in the snow.
Cute gingerbread houses! I love the days were everyone can bunker down together! Good times.
FUN! I remember school being canceled as a kid and playing all day. It sounds like you guys made the best of it.
Oh Melanie, You are the BESTEST mom! Or at least a very creative one! I need to get advice on how to do this. I would say next year, my house, okay?...but probably not going to happen. I will miss you...but Spokane not so much!
Holy Cow! I love snow, we have quite a bit. But not that much! That is crazy. We have 6-10 inches piled up in the yard. That is just right!
