Hello El Nino!

Well, just as we were wondering what kind of ski season it would be with the light/moderate el nino conditions expected (though effects not necessarily strong in this part of the Sierras)...we woke up this morning to about a foot of fresh, light, powdery snow! The girl's school was closed so we went outside to play (and shovel the drive as we are expecting snow for the next week). Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and we can take advantage of a stellar ski season.
Sabrina was hysterical, she just kept repeating, "It's so deep." I guess it is more apparent when you're inseam is 15 inches.

 
Looking forward to more fun in the snow with the family!




...and near perfect execution of the classic snow angel!



Amy is coming home early so we can decorate the Christmas tree tonight (hint: I had to begin stringing the lights while standing on the second floor at the top of the stairs because the ladder wasn't tall enough!)...also, here's our new visitor, Eye Nicholas, watching and reporting to Santa whether the girls are behaving naughty or nice.
