What it looks like here.

We had a blizzzzzzzard!! Which meant: Lots of snow. Brad has 2 days off work! No pre-school. Playing in the snow. Shoveling the snow. Admiring the beauty of the snow.
Pink cheeks. Hot cocoa. Movies.
Lots more shoveling. This guy is a work horse.
The Balloon game. Try it. It's surprisingly addicting to stand around and hit balloons.
Our house in the snow.
Our street with 2 feet of snow.
Our sidewalk with the snow total. 55 mph winds the day and night before. When we took these pics I think it was negative temperatures.
Brad's car. Mine was stuck in the garage at this point. We got it out though. Brad had the day off the paper route but had to do double duty this freezing negative temps morning.
Add to our "when-Brad-gets-a-job-luxury-items-list": snowblower and fourwheeler with plow.
I LOVE the snow.

Oh man. Our house looks exactly like this, too! So much snow! Just FYI, they have some pretty cheap snowblowers at Walmart--we got one, and I think it paid for itself with this storm. And that balloon game does look super fun. I bet that would entertain Kenley for hours!

We've had two inches of snow here and it's killing me. We are just so unprepared for it. No snow clothes, no one knows how to drive in it. Etc.

Crazy, crazy snow you had. We sure had cold temps this week but no snow...THANK HEAVEN. I am not a lover of the snow. So glad you got to spend some QT with Brad and your cute kids. I guess I won't be planning a trip to Illinois in the winter anytime soon...not if it snows that much =) Love ya!!!

I too LOVE the snow! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun playing! We miss you guys and wish we were there to play in all that snow with you. We got snow here, but only like 18 inches and the whole city shut down, no one knows how to drive in it and there are only like 2 plows in the whole city! I hope all is well for you and your wonderful family.
