Snow Storm & winter fun

This past weekend, we were hit with the biggest snow storm, bringing us 2 feet of snow to the whole DC metro area. We were shut in, church was cancelled, & we even lost our power for a few hours Saturday evening. We were grateful that it came on just before bed time as we were deciding how to layer up for warmth! The whole experience was quite fun, being together as a family, seeing the landscape get covered in white.
Here's a shot of our backyard with 1 1/2 ft & more to come!


Here's Charlie trying to hop around & navigate his way to go potty! He ended up mkaing a path that we followed each time he went out.

When it was all over, Sophie was excited to go out in the snow, and here she is with her snow boots, hopping with joy, saying, "I'm ready! Let's go!"

Oh, Soph! You need clothes...layers of them, girl!



We let Charlie run free for a while in the snow. This is our sidewalk.



Getting ready to shovel & check it all out!




Sophie just liked kicking it.




The aftermath. The snow plow just kept coming & coming during the storm, but here's what was still left!

Believe it or not, he's almost done!


Lauren & Ryan.




Our toasty little guy, asleep for the whole thing.



Sportin' the shades & chuckin snow clumps!



Snow angel fun. We were quite surprised she didn't fall through & get lost!



Before the storm, temps started dropping, & as I got concerned for Ryan's warmth, I pulled this out the closet (a gift from someone). We think it looks hilarious. It actyually keeps him quite warm & toasty, although he's mad in this pic.



Sisterly love. We've been working on having her not smother him so much!


Our sweet boy-always smiling & cooing when he's awake.
