Snowy

(You can see the ruler--I think it was 24 inches--is sticking all the way into the snow here)

We had several big snowstorms last week, the biggest on Christmas Day. We heard that we got about 14 inches of snow in that one storm, and the wind was blowing a lot, so there were also huge drifts up to 2 or 3 feet high. There were piles of snow blown up against our garage and our fence that were taller than Sebby. We also got several inches the next couple days, and we still have huge mountains of snow lining all our roads and sidewalks. Our backyard is just a big mass of lumps and bumps and rounded hills and upended buns (that last phrase is from a poem, I think, but I'm not sure who to attribute it to).

We went out and played in the snow on Christmas, and all the boys loved it. Sebby couldn't even walk because the snow was so deep, so he just kept falling over, but he liked it anyway. It was fun to have a big storm for Christmas like that (I can't remember the last time we got _real_ snow for Christmas).
