Unfortunately for the kids the people driving the snow truck apparently resembled members of Al Qaeda and weren't allowed on base until the party was half over. Once they did get on base and got to the party, 200 kids made a mad dash for the snow truck. Three employees had to fend off all 200 of the kids as they made the snow. The poor guy making the snow was bombarded by snowballs from 200 eager kids. Oh wait, 197 kids because kids 198-200 (yeah, my kid and her two friends) were eating the snow. Don't worry, it wasn't yellow snow. Once the snow was completely laid on the grass, all 200 kids destroyed the three employees trying to hold them back. So after the ambulance left all 200 kids had a good time. As for the first half of the party, before the snow got there, Abby had seen her 37th santa of the holiday season (and gotten her 37th candy cane). This was an exceptionally stellar Santa as his eyebrows were spray painted silver with a bunch of overspray above and below the eyebrow. Too much eggnog for Santa that day. Ooohh they had really good food there.

She loved making snow angels.
Poor baby Kendall used as Cindy's shield.
Abby had soooo much fun. I loved seeing her so excited. Having all the snow on the ground and seeing santa walking around made it feel like it was really cold outside. I was actually shivering, but when we got in our car after the party we found out it was 60 degrees outside. I felt like a really big baby after that. I've been spoiled in Cali too long.
P.S. For anyone who doesn't know Jason and his humor...All 3 ice employees were just fine and there was no ambulance. I just wanted to clarify that.

The kids look like they do at an Easter Egg Hunt. All being held back by a plastic ribbon but just can't wait any longer. I especially love the shorts & t-shirt. We've been lucky enough to have a foot of snow. Since Abby likes it so much, maybe we can trade places for a few weeks! I think I could suffer through 60 degree weather for a while.
