A White Christmas!

It was awesome!! I think they said it was the first time in eighty-something years for our area! But it started around 2pm and just kept on throughout the night! By Wednesday morning there were about 7-8 inches in our yard! Jarrod had to work so Stratton had to wait for him to come home at lunch to get out in the snow and play.  I really wanted a picture of both kids but by the time I got Arden bundled up and outside she was hysterical, so our time out in the cold was short lived. BUT Stratton had a BLAST! Since they had been calling for snow for a few days before Jarrod went and bought Stratton a sled. It worked perfect in our yard, since there is a little slope!  He and Jarrod played out in it twice on Wednesday and then Dillon came over Thursday afternoon to watch Stratton while Arden and I went to get some groceries and Stratton talked Dillon into getting out and playing in it, too! Stratton would have played out in it all day I think! Even when he was turning blue he didn’t want to come in!! Sadey liked it as long as she had company, but she wanted to some in as soon as they did! She has been spending lots of time in the house (in her kennel) lately due to the extremely cold temps! She is so good, too. She doesn’t make a peep!
