First Snow of the Season

Last night my parents were kind enough to watch the kids while Trent and I went to Harry Potter 7 (part one). It was nice to have a night out, but when we got out of the movie, it was a blizzard!!! We drove home going 30 mph max and were surprised that the closer we got to our house, the more snow there was. Trent shoveled the driveway so we wouldn't have to in the morning and then we went to bed.
Much to our surprise, this is what we saw this morning:18 inches of snow!!! It was awesome! Good thing Trent cleared the driveway last night. . .now we have 5 inches less to shovel off! But no worries, he had help.Grant isn't so sure about snow. I think he'll warm up to it but he was not ready to rush into anything today.Trent, however, seemed to have reverted back to his 8 yr old self. He built a sledding ramp in the front yard and sent our kids (as well as the neighbor kids) down it.Then he took to making a snowman. Truly a clever fellow (yes those are bed wheels for buttons and silly pipe for a mouth). While I always hope for a white Christmas, who would have thought we'd get a white Thanksgiving?!?!Just for comparisons sake, here is Grant standing next to the snow.
