Right now, I'm supposed to be making my debut playing French horn with the Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra. But, a blizzard has blown through the midwest and has shut down pretty much everything within a one-hundred mile radius. And my parents made the trek over from southern Minnesota to watch me play in my concert tonight. Alas.
Despite our change of plans for the evening, we truly have enjoyed our snow day. It's one of those blizzards that you wished for every winter as a kid, but never got. There's just something about an epic snowstorm that brings you back to your childhood wishing and hoping school just maybe would be closed for the day. Maybe that's just me? Either way, it's just been fun watching piles and piles of snow adorn our sidewalks and driveways (and watch Matt and my dad shovel and snowblow four separate times throughout the day). We've also been able to bake cookies, listen to Christmas music and spend time together. It's been wonderful!
And, on an unrelated note... we were blessed to have someone gift us with a Christmas photo shoot for our family and I got three of the pictures in my email today (a mom of triplets from our church did the shoot--check out her blog and photo blog). There should be more coming soon. The girls did pretty well for the whole shoot and I'm just so excited to have some great pictures to choose from for our Christmas card now!

Funny how a major snowstorm finally forces us to slow down and just enjoy family time for a day! We also enjoyed being stuck inside (even though we didn't get nearly as much as you!). Those pictures are SO cute! Your family is just precious!
