Snowed In!

Wow - we have lived here almost a year and it has snowed about five times....this last time was the most snow people have seen in years, and the most snow I have ever seen in my life! Estimates are about 20 inches. The entire city shut down and it was so quiet and peaceful. Except for being locked inside the house with two stir crazy kids! Thank goodness a neighbor hosted a caroling party at their house. A normally 10 minute walk took about 30 in the snow but it was well worth it! The entire weekend was spent just having fun sledding, playing, and spending time together (plus a little shoveling for me....I am very proud of my handiwork and my "skills" in that area compared to last year). Snowplows were only plowing the major streets so our neighboring street got turned into an awesome sledding hilll...LOVED it.

Nathan loved the snow and the sledding, but Ellie was another story. Didn't much like the wet and cold and especially the fact that the snow was taller than she was! She'll come around eventually.

Here are some great pics from the weekend. We are getting excited for Christmas! GG and Pop Pop, Aunty Maryanne and Uncle Brian arrive tomorrow and the fun begins! Happy Holidays! Formerly a street, now a sledding hill
