SNOW !!!

So like many, we have been hit hard with SNOW~ Not sure the total amount, but it's well over 35 inches total, probably more! The kids have LOVED it.. Morgan was not a fan when it was blowing but she was tough and stayed out with us! The boys are crazy men on the snow hills and Morgan loves it too! We wiped out once and she had to sit with her Aunt B and Brynna for a bit, then we got her to down again! We've made snow cream (thanks JJ!) and even brought snow in on the days.. well, I was too lazy to go out for a 3rd or 4th time!! I think it's SO fun and it reminds me when I was a kid to go out at night.. it's so fun when it's dark but with all the snow it seems so bright. I took a few shots but they didn't come out that great.. but Here are a few during the day... they are in kind of in random order...

Gav hanging out..


Yes, Morgan is licking ice off the house.. and Yes, I was photographing her...

Hugh cleaning his car off.. the tree to the right lost a ton of branches.. you can't tell from the picture, but there were at least 6 big branches down!


Our pretty house in the snow.. but man, we really need a power wash.. the white looks so dingy against the beautiful snow! Will have to get my dad on that this summer :) If you look to the left, you can see part of our driveway fence which is 6 feet, look how high the snow was there!


Hugh out shoveling for the 5th time that day.. we were trying to stay on top of it, since it was heavy snow and we do our driveway, our house and 2 of our neighbors... our backs were a bit sore! I've already caught him looking on Consumer Reports for snow blowers! Tax money might be used for something additional.....


MAN! It looks SOO dirty! But the snow is pretty!


Inside after the first big storm.. playing with snow in the sink!
