Snow Day!

Remember how, in the last post, it was 79 degrees and we were having picnics in the park?

Here's Eli in his church clothes the next day, which was also a beautiful, sunny, high-70s day.

Well, so much for that. Yesterday morning, it started to snow.
We ended up with somewhere around 14 inches (it's hard to say exactly, since the wind was blowing and there were drifts).
It's really pretty, but Colorado weather can make you a little crazy.
There's a 7-passenger SUV under there, believe it or not.
Jessa actually braved the elements (9 degrees + lots of snow = very cold) to go to her normal swimming group this morning. Here's the beginning of her efforts to get the snow off of Red Car, as Eli calls it.
Since he was already in his Christmas monkey pjs, we didn't think too much about fashion when dressing Eli for the elements. Jack O Lantern hoodie, bear snow boots, green hat, green mittens.
As usual, Eli is not a fan of the snow.
He just stands there, whimpers, and eventually...
....starts crying.

By this time next year, though, Eli will probably be begging to go sledding any time a flake falls.

On another note, this is the 11th anniversary of our first date. On March 27, 1998, we decided to grab some dinner before a play at school, ended up at a lake watching a sunset, and the rest is history. This is us dressed up for a formal a month or two later. Here's to 11 more years!
