Snowed In

Today we were supposed to get on one of these to go to Utah for Christmas. Darn Murphy! Why does he have to be right? On the one day we decide to fly, the biggest snow storm to hit DC in December EVER shuts down all airports and our flight was canceled.

This is how much snow we got on our deck.

Since we weren't going anywhere, Santa came for a visit to deliver some large presents early.

The boys wanted skate boards and Santa delivered.

Faith was right in the middle of the action.

Besides skateboards and Nerf guns, the boys wanted LEGOs.

Faith got a miniature kitchen and bedroom set.

Her new comforter for a bed she doesn't have yet.

Our snowed in day proved to be productive in mastering skate board skills in the basement.

And I mastered LEGO building. OK, so maybe I'm a special ed. LEGO builder. Would you believe this Star Wars space thing took me eight hours to build? That's right, I had nothing to do for eight hours but build Spencer's LEGOs. (We don't need to mention that Doug built the one for James in about half the time.)
