On December 17th, Aurora's last day of school before Winter break, she really lucked out! After weeks of 60 degree temps we got a nice big snow storm the night of the 16th and school was canceled!
Getting lots of snow in New Mexico is rare, so when it happens, you can bet we will head outside! Even though it was starting to get dark, we headed to a nearby park that has a field shaped like a bowl and used our White Sands discs to do some sledding!
The kids also played in the backyard. We tried to make snowmen but the snow was just so powdery, they kept falling apart! Or maybe I just need some snowman making lessons! They had fun anyway marching through it and throwing snowballs at each other.
And the best part about New Mexico snow? By the end of the next day, it was all gone! We got to have our fun and then not deal with it again!
Here's a little video of our ghetto desert sledding!

That is crazy! We are just getting our first real snow fall tonight, here in Maine. We live on the coast though- inland Maine has had a few storms already. Our snow tonight is the perfect snowman-making snow- so we lucked out :)
Also lucky kids- how long is your vacation? Today was my kids last day! Their vacation seems really short this year- they go back on the 3rd.
