It's still snowing!

We had planned to head over to Wenatchee for a weekend getaway with the Painter family but decided instead to stay west of the mountains due to the impending snow and wind storm. What a great decision! It started around 2 pm yesterday and has continued almost without stopping ever since. We have literally at least 9 or 10 inches and that's not counting the really deep snow drifts caused by the wind.
Instead of going to Wenatchee, we spent Friday night up in Monroe with Bryson, the Painters and their new golden retriever puppy, Fonzy. Their place felt like a mountain lodge paradise as they already had over a foot of snow and got another 10 inches today up there. We made sure to get home early yesterday to beat the storm and it's a good thing as we are definitely snowed in right now--John will have to do some serious shoveling if he wants to attempt to go into work tomorrow.

What a fun memory this is and I'm SO thankful that we didn't lose power during the storm. Today we mostly stayed inside but did venture out a couple of times to gather snow to make snow ice cream (milk/cream or egg nog+snow+sugar+vanilla+food dye and sprinkles if you have a toddler) and marvel at how beautiful the snow is.

Here are some pictures from our weekend:
