A Christmas of my childhood

This is like a Christmas a of my childhood.  I haven't experienced this much snow in more than 20 years.  When I was little, all of my Christmases were spent in rural Michigan at my grandparent's house.  In the best years we had snow like this.  We've had about 8 inches of snow so far.  

This morning we woke to freezing rain, so when we went out there was a 1" thick crust on the snow.  Toffee snow Sweetheart G called it.  Walking wasn't slippery, but it burned a lot of calories as you high step along breaking through the snow.  

The fridge is stocked with food, we have no where we need to go, and I hope in years to come Sweetheart G and little e remember this Christmas as fondly as I will.
