First Snow

Thursday night we had an amazing winter storm! The first one we have been in while in New Mexico. It was awesome! There was so much snow falling all you could see was a wall of white! I was expecting a foot of snow when we got up but there was barely a skiff. I guess that the snow doesn't stick when it has been in the 60's all week. :)

Even though it snowed all night,  there was somehow less snow when we got up.

The pool doesn't look quite as fun surrounded by snow.

Chet's Nana and Snow

Ever since Olivia was born, we have gone to the Robinson's once a week for family dinner. Having a weekly dinner has given our kids the opportunity to form close relationships with their grandparents and uncles. Even their "emo" Uncle Chrys enjoys playing with them. :) Seriously though, my kids looove the time we spend at Papa's and Grandma Wendy's.

This week's dinner included a special guest, Chet's Nana, who was visiting from California. Nana used to live with the Robinson's but moved back to California about a year ago. We had a great time visiting and catching up. We miss her and it was good to see her. Love you, Nana!

Also, we had our first official snow storm on Saturday night. The kids were so excited. Harris wanted to build a snowman. I had to explain that there wasn't enough snow. He was mad, but it was all melted by the time church was over, so he got over it. I don't think I am ready for the cold. I am, however, excited for all of the fun holidays coming up! We even got our Christmas lights up on the house! We didn't do it. We have Lights Up do it for us. It was either now or not until after Thanksgiving. Since we will be out of town after Thanksgiving it had to be now.

Happy Holiday's! ;)
