Yesterday brought us about 3/4-inch of snow and an ice storm that ended church right after sacrament meeting yesterday and has school canceled for today....
The power went out for several hours last night, which led us to double up everyone into the beds and pull out the sleeping bags and extra blankets, but it came on again around 3:00am, popped off and on again a few more times before coming back on for good.
We awoke this morning warm and cozy and in awe of the icy winter wonderland around us....
The streets, sidewalks, trees, bushes, deck, bird feeder, windchimes, and cars were all covered with beautiful a layer of glistening ice.
Now we are enjoying a laid back day at home with plans to include card
making, baking, online Christmas shopping, movie watching, and of course
playing outside in the snow and ice!

He comes home later this week, which meant that we needed to restock the groceries before his arrival...
That and a few crackers and I think we're about ready now.

This ice leaf was our favorite find of the day. We assume that it formed on top of a leaf and slid off into the snow. In any case, it was absolutely gorgeous!
