Winter Wonderland

 We had a really big snow storm last night, which has not ended.
In the ten years that I have lived here, this is the biggest snowfall I have ever seen.

 There is easily more than a foot of snow.

 Ty being a great helper!
It's good to teach your children the value of work while they're young.

 Ty decided to tread through the snow to get to our front door.

 Allan taking a quick break.
Thanks handsome for humoring me while I capture this large snowfall on film.

Oz was taking a break too.
If only his lawn mower were a snow-blower.

 The enormous snow mound in front of our house just got bigger.
Can you see Ty at the very top?

 Playing outside was very exhausting.

 Oz wanted to drive the car around since the driveway was all clear.

After a fun morning in the snow, it was time for a hot cocoa break.
