Tsnownami 2010

Last weekend we had the most single snowfall in my history of being a Minnesotan. In fact, it was in the top FIVE snowfalls of Minnesota's recorded history! That means we got a lot of snow! About 17 inches worth. When I was little and lived in California and Arizona, I used to dream of a White Christmas and playing in snow up to my knees. So when my parents talked about moving to Minnesota when I was in 5th grade, I was ecstatic! Now, nearly 18 years later, I still feel like a kid on Christmas Eve when I hear of an impending snow storm! During this particular blizzard of all blizzards, Bluejay and I snuggled on the couch, watched a million movies, edited photos, drank pretty much every hot beverage known to man, and did some crafting. At least that's what I did. I'm pretty sure Bluejay played video/iPhone games until his eyeballs fell out. Pretty much a lazy day heaven! I knew it was going to be a "biggin'", so I asked sweetly demanded that Bluejay and I take some photos during the momentous storm because I KNOW our kids will ask us someday, "Mom? Dad? What did you do during the Blizzard of 2010?" Now I have picture proof! Now Mn looks so funny with snow drifts way up over my head! But I love it... even if it was suddenly 100 degrees everyday until Christmas (it is about 105 degrees LESS than that now) I'm pretty sure we'd still have a white Christmas. Yes!
