Blizzard caps excellent sleep-over

She slept 10 hours last night and no wonder. Dancing with Birdie to Elton John followed by a trip to Nordstrom for a pair of tennies and a ride on the Pepsi Orange Streak at the Mall of America Park and it was curtains for our girl. We confined Birdie to her kennel overnight, but she was happy to do the honors this morning, waking Emily to six inches of new-fallen snow, blowing like a blizzard outdoors. We're eating pancakes this morning, then we'll buckle up for an adventurous drive through the snow to Eden Prairie, concluding this excellent sleep-over.
