Maybe a dusting, even up to an inch in places...

So, our "dusting" of snow that we were promised before we went to bed last night turned in to
7 1/2 inches!!!!! (and that's before the drifts)

It's a beautiful snow, all powder.
Perfect for skiing!

But since we can't ski here at home,
we made the best of it and played in the neighborhood.

Jeff built a snowman (with a little help from the girls), but I don't know how...
the snow is so powder"y" that it doesn't pack well.

Is this not the cutest little snow bunny you've ever seen?!?

And since Mickey Mouse is so popular around our house,
we thought it would be appropriate to make a Mickey Snow-Mouse!

The kids loved it!

Ava is still not too thrilled about walking in the snow,
but she sure enjoyed riding in the sled today!!
Our kids love the neighbors' kids and some of them came to play with us today.
A treat for all of us - they are all in school and play ball,
so we don't get to see them very often during the school year.
