The BIG Snow!


Our home.

Daddy and the girls standing in the snow. Cami is really excited!

Sitting on a mountain of snow daddy plowed.

Our backyard - it is gorgeous!

One of the trees out back.

Cami is getting the walking down.

Wait! I need to catch my balance.

And she is off again!

Our power went out around midnight Friday night/Saturday morning. We woke up to a pretty chilly house. Daddy got up before the girls and got the generator running. He bought a big generator last year after we were without power for a few days (Cami was a newborn.) That thing can run the whole house. So once he got the tractor out and the generator going - the house warmed up and I was able to serve a hot breakfast. We ran the furnace for a few hours then Jay went out and shut it down so he could plow us and the rest of the neighborhood out. Our power came on just after he went outside so we didn't get too cold. Later in the afternoon we bundled up and went out to play. The snow was so high on Cami - up to her rear end. I think we got around 12 inches. Makenna wanted to take a winter walk so we headed up the drive way and enjoyed the beautiful snow. Makenna made a snow angel and loved throwing snow balls. Cami learned how to walk in all those clothes and liked sitting in the snow. We had a fun day. We are thankful the snow came the weekend before Makenna's birthday party - it usually hits the weekend of her party!
