So when they say Farmington, NM is going to get snow, it is usually 1/4 in. at the most and melts over the course of 2 days. So not many people have snow shovels or snow boots. It does get pretty cold, but snow and rain storms almost never happen...almost. So the first snow storm in apparently 30 years to hit Farmington hit. And over the course of 4 days it has not stopped snowing and we got at least 1 foot of snow! Schools here were closed for 2 days! We had a trip planned to Durango, Co and thought that even with snow, we would be able to still go and do what we had planned. We were going to ride the train, go to a southwestern art gallery, grab some dinner and head to a bed and breakfast for the night (a gift for all the doctors in Christian's practice) but lo and behold the Durango train called and cancelled! I don't know if they have ever done that before. Apparently the was so much snow, there was no way the train would be able to get through! Wow, talk about bad luck and bad timing for us. So luckily we were refunded. And rescheduled for the end of February. Hopefully we will not have a repeat of this. Why they gave us nights up in the mountains in the winter...I will never know. Some doctors just didn't go because of weather/sick kids. Well, we are determined to make it work, no matter how much hassle it seems to becoming. So we are now official owners of a snow shovel, but the boots...not yet. However Delia got to put her boots to good use, if even for one snow day and really enjoyed herself. We made a snow man, but I didn't take a picture, he wasn't quite finished with the extra touches! I mad sure she was bundled up pretty good because she gets cold and cranky too fast. So I dressed her in 3 shirts, one with a hood. Tights, socks, and then jeans. Safety pinned gloves to her shirts. put on her hat, then her coat with a hood over the hat, an extra pair of gloves over the others and finally, a scarf wrapped all around her. She reminded me of the little boy from "A Christmas Story" Hahaha! I could helped but laugh histerically when I saw the finished preduct, but at least she stayed warm for a little while!

Posing for the camera. Daddy working hard at shoveling all that snow!
"If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes, oh what a snow that would be!"
Delia had more fun eating the snow than anything!
All bundled up my little snow angel!!
