Cold Feet

Snowmaggedon, Snownortious B.I.G., Snowtacular, whatever you want to call it, we got a lot of snow - definitely about two feet, maybe more!

We have not left the house since Friday morning when we made a quick trip to the grocery store and got Lily a haircut - cabin fever has definitely set in! The snow began as predicted around 10am on Friday and did not stop until Saturday evening. Lily and Jack have been having a blast, especially since Dad and our neighbor Mr. Greg built a snow fort/igloo in our front yard, which also includes a sledding hill. Lily especially has been outside every hour possible, and Jack has been taking some good naps. We have been in the snow for three days straight, doing lots of shoveling and playing, including Daisy who has learned to love the snow! Tomorrow the fun will continue as work and school continues to be closed, and there are 10-20 inches predicted beginning tomorrow morning.

Lily and Jack want to send out special birthday hugs and kisses to Bubbie who is celebrating her birthday on Sunday, and wants to send out Happy Valentines wishes to everyone else!

Enjoy the pics and video!

This is where he was sitting - he just plopped down to take it all in.
