reported that she had been hoping school wouldn't be cancelled because she was looking forward to rugby practice. She did enjoy Monday's snow day. They made a home-made snowboarding ramp at home and her first snowman. He was so cute they called him "Johnny Depp". Last Friday, she went to a school dance in Kensington and on Sunday she had a perfect day snowboarding.
