Snow, snow and some very large icicles

One thing that I love about Utah is that you are pretty much guaranteed a white Christmas, on the other hand one thing I hate about Utah is that however lovely a white Christmas is, shoveling snow is never fun - and let me tell you I have had plenty of opportunities this year to find the fun in snow shoveling and have yet to find any. Anyway one happy side effect of all the snow are the absolutely freaking awesome icicles that we get on our house. They were so huge, Anna made me knock them down with a broom so that Georgie wouldn't accidentally get stabbed by one (she saw this clip of a TV show where that happened). Before I knocked them down however, I took some pics and here they are!!
