Snow!

Yesterday morning, as I spoke to Mum on the phone, it started to snow a bit....and then didn't stop for the rest of the day. We had 16cm of snow yesterday in Okotoks - the first big fall of the season, and it was fab! As we drove to the skating rink yesterday afternoon, it looked like a winter wonderland. "This is what we came for!" we said.
The children had a blast, sledging for hours on a hill just down the road with their friend Liam. Jaz came back rosy cheeked and with icicles on her eyelashes. They've also enjoyed shovelling the driveway and paths around the house (although after a couple more falls I reckon the novelty will wear off!). Neil even bought them their own shovels....no flies on him!
We need to keep the driveway clear for the removals men today as our furniture arrives in just a few minutes. The children were up bright and early to lend a hand.
Last night there was a knock on the door, and our neighbours were standing there with hot pecan pies and butter biscuits to welcome us to the neighbourhood! How fantastic is that? I truly believe we are living in 'The Trueman Show' sometimes!
