Well for once the weatherman was right. I was sort of annoyed, since I had planned a nice afternoon of knitting, movies, and festive holiday cocktails with a few friends. And of course the 2 feet of snow put an end to that. However all was not lost, since I do love snow and we had a fun time playing in it. Surprisingly, Illy loved leaping through the snow drifts. She hates water, but I guess snow is more fun.

This was our family walk Saturday morning. Aaron’s wearing the first scarf I ever knit for him.

Practically a white out. You can barely see the other dogs and their owners in the back of the shot.

It finally stopped snowing. We didn’t measure what was on the table but suffice to say, it’s the most we’ve seen here in ages.

The door on the deck wouldn’t open because of the drift, so we had to let her out through the basement. She bravely forged a trail.

And here are the cookies I made for the neighbors and the knitting party. The neighbors did get theirs, at least!
