We got our first snow storm (really our fist snow fall) of the year last night and it was a doozy! We had to have gotten at least a foot of snow and some pretty impressive drifts. The kids were thrilled, but after a couple hours of shoveling us and our two neighbor ladies out, Dave wasn't quite as excited as them. We watched our neighbor across the street, who does not own a snow blower, open up his garage and just sort of stand there in disbelief. Dave had to head to work so he lent him our snow blower to save him from having to shovel. My dad went and bought a new snow blower yesterday and thank goodness he did; he said he had gone through 3 tanks of gas this morning blowing neighbors out. It was quite a storm. The kids were ready to go out before 8am but I made them hold of until about 9 I think. They had fun and are ready for round two later on this afternoon. (I know there is an overload of Wyatt pictures-it's his first time really getting to play in the snow)
Warming up with some Lego building
Wyatt has the right idea.
Madi, you're shoveling the wrong way...shovel away from the driveway:)
Madi got Grace in the face.
One happy boy
Our winter baby
That one's a little too small Gracie
Wyatt got Madi:)
A true snow angel
Bear loves the snow. He is getting old and it takes a lot for him to even stand up some days, but he's like a puppy when it snows.

Great pics, Lexie!! You really captured the kids' fun on the first snow day! I love all your clever captions! Grace is a good sport to get snow in her face by Madi! Please tell Madi her new coat is so cute and from what I hear teenagers say, big jackets and sweatshirts are very "in". You truly captured all their joy, especially Wyatt's and Bear's!!! Looks like Wyatt got lots of sled rides from very willing big sisters! So thoughtful of you to lend your neighbor your snow blower. I could just picture him opening his garage door and staring at all that snow in disbelief!!! Love you all!!
