Snowed In...

The last two days we have been enjoying watching the snow continue to fall and accumulate on the ground. Yesterday the snow never stopped falling! We now have around 8 inches of snow with a 1/2 inch of ice on top due to the freezing rain that came in late last night.
Yesterday we were pretty much snowed in and just hung out all day wrapping presents, listening to Christmas music and relaxing. In the evening we went over to Jeff's Aunt, Debbie's, house (one street up from ours), and had dinner and joined in on a gingerbread house decorating contest. Jeff and I came in second and got a big Hershey's chocolate kiss. First place went to Jeff's cousin, Michelle, and her boyfriend, who creatively turned a gingerbread choo-choo train into a semi-truck.
This morning we are completely snowed/iced in and will not be venturing out at all. Just trying to walk in our yard is a bit scary. But I had to go out and take some pictures just because I thought the layer of ice on all the trees was so beautiful! Here's what it looks like at our house right now...
