Snowy Weekend


Yesterday I went to the grocery store at 7:00 AM and noticed a few snowflakes floating around. By 11:00 we had some snow sticking to the lawn and bushes and even a bit on the front porch!

A few hours later it was piling up! I joked that this was the snow I ordered for the CTR5 Class Party today. It was so beautiful to see the snow falling. Kind of mesmerizing! We usually only get one weak little snowfall a year; this ended up being the most we'd ever seen in our 20 years here!

George, Porter and Jack. Adam came, too, but he was a bit camera shy. They had fun making an ornament, putting together a cute nativity and eating snacks provided by their teacher Wilma. It was a fun party.

Mary Anne T. got off work at 6:30. It was still snowing hard and sticking to everything including driveways and all the roads. We had planned to go to the temple that night and wondered what to do...well Heber and I picked her up and we went! It was not busy at all and was a wonderful experience. The trees near the temple looked so beautiful and you can see the roads snowy white (and slippery!) Church is cancelled today because the parking lot is full of snow and every driveway is slick. For safety sake it is cancelled, so we will stay in and stay warm! Brrr!!

What better place to spend a snowy evening, than in the temple! It looks so pretty!
