Big day

Today was another big day for our family.  My mom had a total knee replacement this morning. Her knee was in pretty terrible condition but the surgeon said the procedure went great.  Today was also another snow day for the kids and me.  Since we've started each of the five snow days with our traditional "snow day doughnuts," it was time to get a little creative with them.
 
 
After a well-balanced yummy breakfast, we went downstairs to watch some cartoons.
 
The snow really is quite impressive.  It now officially reaches all the way up to the top of the railing.
To give you some perspective, last week all of the snow was hauled away from the middle of our cul-de-sac.  We have gained quite an impressive snow pile in a matter of days!
The only unfortunate part of the day was the fact that the interminable snow forced us to make the decision to stay home, rather than brave the roads and travel across several towns to visit my mom in the hospital.  We hope to go tomorrow, but until then the kids had a message to send their Grandma.

We ended the day with a delicious dinner (thank you, Aldi for yummy, cheap ham!) and a little Mouse Trap before bed.  We're looking forward to snow day #6 tomorrow!
