Marshmallow Christmas

We've had one snow storm after another for the last couple of weeks and as Christmas approaches we're expecting another big one Christmas eve, Christmas day and Friday.  Here are a few pictures from Tuesday morning before Porter and I plowed the snow.  I've had fun sculpting the snow around our driveways and even helped a few of the neighbors plow their drives last night because they couldn't get their cars out.  I've decided that when I grow up I'm going to be a snowcat driver, grooming the slopes on ski resorts.  It's my favorite thing to do.  Also there is a picture of Shadrach making a sled path in our new front yard for his brothers and sisters.  He was great, carrying up their sleds over and over so they could slide.  Finally a picture of Ellis in the afternoon.  We weren't sure how he would do on a sled but he went dozens of times and laughed out loud the whole way down, especially on the jump the kids made at the bottom.

By the way, some of you already have been watching the snow but for those interested, check out www.skiarizado.com for our webcam in the backyard.  You can watch the snow and if you're lucky see elk or deer or the other night we watched a red fox bouncing around in the snow in front of the camera.
