Snowpocalypse!

As you've all seen in the news (if you're not in the middle of it yourself), we have been slammed by snow this week! Over the weekend we got about 12 inches and then during the last 36 hours we were hit by somewhere between 18 and 24 inches. It is crazy but absolutely beautiful. The girls have enjoyed watching it fall from the warmth of our living room with a fire in the fireplace. Lori went to work for a few hours yesterday while I stayed home with the girls and today we have a delayed opening until noon. We are thankful for the chance to have the sidewalks and roads cleared and traveled before we journey out with the girls!




Our front door on Wednesday morning (with two pajama clad girls watching the snow)





The sidewalk leading to our house on Wednesday morning




The tree in our front yard on Wednesday afternoon





Having a one-sided snowball fight with the girls through the front door :-)




A large branch on the tree in our front yard cracked Wednesday evening due to the weight of the snow. The end of the branch was (and still is) hanging down to the sidewalk. We had to dig a little walkway around it in the snow because the sidewalk is completely blocked.



Shoveling our front steps again Wednesday night!

One last picture of our front steps before bedtime!

You win!!!! We have a lot, but not like that! This is one contest no one wants to win - except maybe the Winter Olympics. More to come next week, I hear.
