SNOW!!

It started snowing Thursday afternoon and snowed most of the day yesterday and today. Rio Rancho has measured 14 inches of the white stuff so far! We were supposed to go to Amarillo but it has been snowing on the eastern plains for a few days and I-40 has been closed since Thursday.

The snow is beautiful, though, and everyone seems to have re-discovered their inner child. Yesterday, we bundled up and built a big snowman, had a snowball fight and made yummy snow ice cream. Most of the stores and malls are closed because of the snow so we've had no choice but to hang out at mom's house. We went to rent some movies but the shelves at Hastings were practically bare...guess everyone else had the same idea and got there before we did. Oh well!

SNOW

MUCH

FUN!!!

We are actually "stranded" here because I-40 AND I-25 are closed. We're keeping a close eye on the weather and hope to still make it to Amarillo (we're supposed to take Shelby home) next week sometime. Julie is having serious ESPN withdrawal!! This is college bowl game season and mom does not have cable. AAARRRGGGHH!
