Oh, the snow!

We woke up to almost a foot of snow today. We knew we were going to get some, but it was still kind of a shock to see how much. It is taking a long time to get completely plowed out in our neighborhood. Chris stayed home from work and spent a lot of time running the snow blower and killing his back with the shovel. There was no way the car was going to get out of the alley until a plow came through. Xander was so excited that he couldn't sleep. We eventually gave up and Chris took him outside to play in the snow with his shovel. It was too cold to stay out long and there was lots of whining when it was time for him to come inside.
