Blizzard 2009

Well, we survived our first blizzard as a family.  We got around 22 inches of snow!  This was Chris and Josiah's first big snowfall.  I think it was pretty special that they could experience that together.  Chris worked extra hard outside keeping the walks clear and the car cleaned off--just in case.  He also had to work extra hard because all he had was a garden shovel.  I've yet to let him live down the fact that earlier in the week I told him he should go ahead an buy a snow shovel, and he said that he would get one later.  Well, Friday night, he was out looking for one---and surprise---they were all sold out!  I told him that either he or I will be buying a shovel this week because I'm not going into labor with a possible snow storm and watching him shovel with a garden shovel! 

Josiah enjoyed being outside, but we weren't really surprised by that.  He was enjoying the snow until he tripped and fell face first into a pile of snow.  After that, he wasn't too sure about it. We went back out today, and he was fine with the snow again.  We didn't do too much with the snow except pick up balls of snow and toss them.  I think if he was just a little bit older and I wasn't so pregnant, we could of had more fun.

We are suppose to get more snow on CHRISTmas day, so I hope they are correct and we get to have a white CHRISTmas.   Come back after CHRISTmas to see all the fun pictures we take.
