A White Christmas

It's Kansas City's first official white Christmas since 1962. And boy is it white out there ... we may have nearly a foot of snow already (it's hard to tell with the drifts - the 30mph winds messed with the way the snow has fallen), and it's still snowing. The kids and I went out for about 10 minutes this morning to check out the kids' new snow boots. It was actually Molly's idea to go outside, but three minutes into the event, this was her reaction ...



... Claire followed Molly back in the house mainly so she could get back to the new toys, and Lily wanted to stay outside and play ...




... unfortunately these photos don't quite show the depth of the snow, but maybe you can notice how the snow drifts make it look as though there's no step down from our porch to the sidewalk (in the photo above, Lily is standing on the sidewalk, with the porch behind her). The snow drifts near the house are as high as the bushes.
