Our New England storm

We survived our first New England storm. In fact, I didn't even realize it was going to be such a big deal until I got an email from my parents asking about our snow, then I checked the weather forecast and learned it was more than just a dusting. We got about 12-24 inches depending on which part of the yard you were in. Kent had a long day snow blowing a pathway out for our cars in case we needed to go somewhere. Luckily we don't have anywhere to go for a while. The kids enjoyed getting dressed up in their snow gear. Thank heavens they got some new snow clothes for Christmas. Hayden's old boots were too small so he had to tip-toe hobble around with his heel sticking out in his old ones. Hayden went to town eating as much snow as he could. He got stuck once up to his hips in snow, crying, and needed to be pulled out. Sawyer was the last one out of the snow. He loved shoveling it, and had a blast when the snow hill was ready. McKinley helped shovel for as long as her tiny arms could stand it. She was the first one to go inside. Sadie was jumping around in the snow and having fun.

We've got plenty of food, our electricity didn't go out, and we've got no where to go. It was a good storm :)
