We're snowed in!

On Wednesday, the week before Christmas, we woke up to a few snow flakes and it didn't stop snowing until Friday. It snowed so much in 24 hours that it broke all the records for December. The kids AND Lincoln both got Thursday and Friday off from school and work. This way the kids Christmas break started a couple days early. There was no way we could have made it anywhere on our road. The whole city was behind plowing the roads. I already had problems when I had to run a few errands Wednesday afternoon. I couldn't get through the snow on a hill to make it to the next road, but somehow managed to find another way home. Luckily we had gotten 2 weeks worth of groceries a couple days beforehand. It was o nice to just stay home, play and get ready for Christmas.


Our basement window. When it was finally done snowing, we were only able to see snow.
This is what awaited us when we opened the garage door.
These guys sure had fun.
It kept snowing on and off and we, mostly Lincoln, had to shovel the drive way already 3 times (compare to fall picture of the house-it's ahuge drive way). The snow plow kept pushing snow in front of our drive way, so we had to keep shoveling that away too if we wanted to leave. At some point we had no idea where to put all the snow, as the sides of the drive way and road were already way to high to throw the snow on top of it.
All this snow kept falling down the roof, leaving even more snow in the drive way.

Yep, that's me. Fall decoration in the middle of winter. Love the picture though.

Our lamp with cute snow hat- reminds me of the soldiers in London.
Daddy took the kids to the park.
