Snow Storm

We got a BIG snow here (by AR standards) on Christmas night!  The kids and I missed the beginning of it because we'd rushed to my parents' house in north Arkansas on Christmas Day in hopes of doing some sledding there.  The winter storm surprised everyone and went south of what was predicted, leaving only a dusting of snow at Mom and Dad's and 11"+ here!  Crazy!  Many many people in the area lost power for several days, but we were very lucky that ours never went out at all.  There are trees  down/limbs broken all over town because of the ice that came before the snow--it's kind of a mess!

Alexee, Crosby and I came home on Thursday.  The roads were totally clear, but there was plenty of snow left to play in.  They got to try out their snow suits and boots (from Christmas 2011--we never had a chance to use them) and Alexee wore her new winter coat from Mo and Granddad.  Rhett missed this snow because he stayed two extra nights in Flippin and rode home with my Dad and sister yesterday.
