Never in my life have I gotten to miss church because of snow. That all changed this past Sunday. I was joking with Dave and my brother-in-law, Brian, about how they should cancel church because of all the snow. Brian looked at me and said,"They don't cancel church for snow." Was he ever wrong!
Courtney started off strong, shoveling the snow. After about 5 minutes she was cold and ready to go back in. We were happy that Brian was there to help shovel. Our entire neighborhood was outside shoveling at the same time. I think it took a good 45 minutes to get all the snow shoveled(and that didn't even include our third car garage driveway).
Brian wanted to get home but he was basically stuck at our house until later in the afternoon. It cleared up for a few hours and he was able to make it to his Super Bowl party.
It did turn out to be a very fun day. After shoveling, we had a lesson from Brian, from the Ensign. It was kind of fun to be snowed in with the family.
Once it stopped snowing, Dave and Courtney couldn't help but build a snowman. It turned out great and was actually Courtney's first snowman, if you can believe that. She is looking forward to many more. Happy Snow Day!

Oh. My. Gosh. That's so crazy, I can't even imagine! My boys are very jealous of the snowman though (they've never seen snow in person, but they went through a Frosty phase during Christmas time). It's close to 70 degrees today if you want to come visit . . . :)
First off, poor little Courtney with those baby braces. I think I would have gone into shock seeing all that blood come from my child so I'm glad you held it together. I'm glad she is ok. Sunday was crazy. We didn't go to church either and our super bowl guests cancelled!
For real? I know it sounds terrible.. but I would love a snow day from church. Yikes- I shouldn't have admitted that! Sounds fun though. I'm jealous of the snowman too! I can't remember the last time I was in snow!
I think it's time to invest in a snowblower, that's some serious shoveling! I better not tell you that it was 75 degrees today--oops! :) I do miss the snuggling up with the family and a warm cup of hot cocoa, but I definately do not miss driving in it!
Jason told me that you guys just got back from the DR! Lucky!! I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it!
Candace, I've tagged you. Go to my blog for more details.
I loved how you said, "gotten to miss church." I love it! I wish I would have had the opportunity to miss! jk. Looks like a whole lot of work!!! I like the snow-blower idea!
