Its Matt's Big Day

We had a snowstorm last night, and though it was minor in comparison to growing up in Idaho, it was major here. I have to say even though it may only snow a few inches, it turns the roads to solid ice, and with all our hills. . . it makes it impossible to get around. Ethan had late start three days, and no school the other two last week. And this morning church was cancelled . . . so it felt like it should be Christmas morning, But it was only Matt opening birthday presents. It is actually one of the best feelings to be snowed in on Christmas, believe it or not I have fond childhood memories of being snowed in. Matt has been so busy with work, it is a bit of relief to be stuck at home.
Matt made it clear earlier this month that he did not want Christmas paper for his bday presents, he said "I would rather it be wrapped in newspaper". Thus he received cardboard boxes that the kids had colored on. He has since taken it back. I think he would prefer pretty packages with Christmas decor versus our current design.



Ethan and friends in front of our house a few days ago. It has been quite nice to have the bright snow instead of gray skies.
