We got our first real snow fall of the season! I think it’s about 18″ (though I didn’t really measure). We went to bed with nothing and woke to a winter wonderland. Awesome! After breakfast we all bundled up and headed out for shoveling, digging, sledding (attempts anyway) and general merriment.
The first thing she does is plop down in the snow and take her mitten off. Silly girl.
Our mailbox, a casualty of the overnight snow plow. (That darn spot won't go away. The camera is no longer under warranty so I guess the spot will be there until I suck it up and buy a new camera :/ )
Our street
Our house
Lex unburied the mailbox. Later in the day the mail lady put our mail in it, while it was laying on the ground. I was happy just to get mail! :)
The kids watching me talk to the snow plow guy. He stopped on his way past when he saw we were outside. He apologized and said he would come by tomorrow and fix the mail box. He also said we weren't the only ones :) It was a dark and stormy night. Poor guy!
Eve got cold so I bundled her up a little more. Lex opted for a scarf shortly after. I like the look :)
Snow on the siding makes for a beautiful wintery look.
The kids wanted to sled, but 18+ inches of powdery snow is just too deep, as Parrish quickly discovered!
Eve looks so adorable in her new sweatshirt. I wanted to take a picture, but she wanted to cuddle in Alan's lap in peace. She looks like such a baby here, until you realize that there's another whole half of her in legs not in the picture!
No more mommy paparazzi!!
Eve and I went back out for a second round of shoveling in the afternoon. The snow had finally stopped coming down and most of the snow on the garage roof had slid off, so the driveway had a good covering again. No pictures that time though because it was getting dark and cold and I was in a hurry!
