Snow Day!

I got 2 early Christmas presents yesterday!  One was a brand new camera and one was a snow day off from school (which is probably more for the kids, but meant I didn't have to bake bunches of cookies today and go help out in the kids' Christmas parties at school later today :)

So, instead of baking and running errands and the like, the kids played out in the snow this morning and I played with my new camera.  Here are a few pics from this morning with my new toy!

 Sitting on my couch looking outside.  I still have to figure out how to make inside stuff not look dark.  Apparently, that is possible with my new camera.

 Sledding down our driveway!  Our crazy steep driveway is good for something!

 With my old camera these action shots would have been blurry!

After shoveling, the snow was as high as our car!  It took poor Jason forever to get to work today.  I'm really glad the kids and I don't have to go anywhere!
