Blizzard

We've had a mild winter so far but I knew it had to end at some point. We received about a foot of snow and when the blizzard hit, it blew the snow everywhere. Some drifts we're as tall as the kids while others were waist high or knee deep. The kids enjoyed 3 days of no school.

Kaitlin was the driveway shoveling guru, she totally rocked :-D

Braden had fun diving over snow ditches with his guns, it was like a training exercise.

My snow boot for scale.

I think it's cool how the snow stayed put when the door was opened.

Looks like a white sand dune. I don't think Braden's feet are on the bottom of this one.

It was actually really cool to see the wind. Usally a person can hear and feel wind but the snow followed every twist and turn. Sometimes we even watched the snow take the form of a tornado as it whipped between the houses.

We found ourselves house bound but it was really nice for us to spend time together which has been a rare opportunity since I've started working nights. We enjoyed snuggling on the couch, all five of us squished together watching movies and eating popcorn.
