We got snow once again in Yucca Valley :) On Monday, we had a bit stick on the ground. A friend and I were out driving and the roads were getting really slick, just west of our home. All after school events were cancelled, Scott was home shortly after 2pm (I loved it!!).
Tuesday was beautiful. It didn't snow. Here is a picture of the mountains (or hills for those of you who have been to Utah).
We woke up on Wednesday to a ton of snow. Okay, it was about 6 inches...but still. School was cancelled. When you live somewhere like here, no one has snow shovels, or snow plows.
School was also cancelled on Thursday. We ended up getting 1 1/2 - 2 feet of snow. I could only find one of Jacen's mittens (from last year 
when we went to Utah) so he had so wear some of my cotton gloves. He didn't mind one bit. Here is a picture of our back yard (with the house on the hill in the background) and a shot of me and Jacen.

Jacen playing in the snow :) He was loving it!
The walkway to our front door. Just past that second window is our front door. The snow came off the roof and landed directly on our walkway. (we got a package delivered today and the Mail Lady somehow found our front door.)
A shot from the street, of our house :)
The 3-4 foot pile of snow right out our front door, and all along our walkway. (Honestly how did the Mail Lady find us?)

Scott shoveling our driveway on
Thursday with a regular round headed shovel, and a short sleeve shirt. It was warming up fast. He actually came in and got shorts on (only in sunny California can you shovel snow and not freeze while wearing a short sleeve shirt and shorts.) We were able to get to my doctor's appointment and pick up our babysitter without our street being plowed.

Today (Friday) the district tried to have school. Yucca Valley's roads were not plowed enough for the buses to pick up the kids. Only the main roads got plowed and a bus stop is at the end of our non-plowed road. Scott got to school to find that the parking lots were not plowed. Once the first bell rang, school was cancelled. Scott had a whole 7 people in his class (and that was a lot compared to some of the other classes).

Jacen just loved having his Daddy home....now if only he didn't have to make up the days!!

You guys got more snow than we did here in Cleafield, UT! They kept saying a huge storm was coming, but the one we got we pathetic, only 2 or 3 inches :( Enjoy it while it lasts I guess! :)
I love that he had to change into shorts to shovel the snow... that may be a first!
Craziness. I grew up in Cali and it never ever snowed for me. The first time I saw it snow at BYU-I, I went crazy. Sounds like so much fun!
Wow!!! Too bad we missed that! Thanks for posting such great pictures of the snow!
Merry Christmas!
I love the picture of the house from the street! You got tons of wet snow! What a fun way to start winter.
Wow! You got lots of snow! Jacen looks like he is having a great time. He is such a cute kid! Stacia, you look really good. I wish I could look that good when I was prego. I'm glad life is treating you well. Happy New Year!
