Dave worked really hard to get me something special this year and wowzers, did he outdo himself! My gift started arriving yesterday morning! Here we are from yesterday:
 |
| "Dave! It's starting to snow!" "I know! Happy early birthday, little brother!" |
Can you believe that?!!? Snow! Just for me! Here I am, a little later in the day:
 |
| "Now this is some SNOW!" |
It just coming down and coming down!
 |
| "It just keeps getting better!" |
I don't know how he arranged it, but wowzers, what a great birthday present! And I get to share with EVERYBODY!
By this morning, things got serious, of course. Right after Dad finished shoveling, I got to work on my really cool snow forts. Here I am, working on the one on the northern flank:
