The Blizzard of 2009

It was the most fantastic White Christmas! What a great way to introduce Rosie to snow. Our county had its' first ever blizzard warning issued on Christmas Eve. With 45-50 mph winds, we got some fantastic drifting, and it was a beautiful Christmas morning.

After opening stockings and a hearty breakfast, we ventured out to enjoy the snow. Here are the munchkins breaking through the drift to get out of our garage.

Look at these snowdrifts in front of our house!!!!! I recognize that for some of you, this much snow is no big deal, but for us this is a rare occurrence.

The shoveling hero!


Rosie loved the snow. The first time she fell face down she wasn't sure, but she quickly decided that the fun was worth a bit of cold. She had a great time helping Daddy shovel the sidewalk and driveway. And, with a bit of instruction from Mommy, she then had a great time throwing snowballs at Daddy!!!!!!!
