Holy Snow!

We were soooo thankful to get home! Christmas time is not the time to be flying standby. The flights out of Zurich were oversold on the 18th and we had to get home for the FCP (Sullivan Family Christmas Party). So we woke up at 4:00 and flew to Amsterdam just to receive more bad news about oversold flights. Well someone was looking out for us because we both some how got on separate over sold flights. Jack (from Barcelona), Zann, and I all landed with in 3 hours of each other to find out they were predicting a huge snow storm for Saturday and the FCP and my hair apt (which I was more than upset about!) were canceled. Our thought was everyone was over reacting and we'll believe it when see it since many times school has been canceled and it just rained. But just in case we were going to be snowed in on Saturday we HAD to have dinner at West Wood... ha! We were sooo lucky we made it in on Friday. Some of Ja 's friends who tried to fly in on Saturday were stuck in airports all over Europe until Monday.


Then we woke up to THIS...



More snow than we have seen in Switzerland. Here is Zann sledding for the first time in his life. What??? 26 and never been sledding? I guess that's what you get for being a southern boy


Dad was sure happy to get to use his snow plow for the second time this winter. Notice how much snow is on the car and hardly any on the drive way. Yes, this was his 3rd time in about two hours using his tractor. The man LOVES his machines!! And good thing because we wanted to get out!


Since the drive was was clear why not drive to go sledding right?? I think we were the only crazies on the road driving through over two feet of snow. As long as we followed the rules of driving in the snow we would be fine...hands a 10 and 2 and don' brake. Well it was totally worth it because the sledding was AWESOME!


Dad did you sink in the snow or did Jack grow again?


Get it Mama


bother and sister in laws...ha!


Mom and Dad loved the Snow Boogie just as much as we did


The sledding was awesome...the walk up the hill, not so much
Our first snow picture :)



Thanks Zann, head first into the snow


I had snow all down my coat by this point


Love my sis !


Dad with his new favorite toy! We finished the snow day off with some gluhwein, chili, and played the whole game of Monopoly.


And this is what it looked like when we went to bed. 3 feet!
