Snowstorm!!

The first week of February we got a whole lot of snow dumped on us. For a few days we were stuck inside because it snowed, and snowed, and kept on snowing! All in all, it dumped about 22" on us! Yes, I was very well aware it snows a lot here, and I'm totally okay with it, because as you will see in the pictures below it pretty much begins to melt as soon as it stops snowing and the clouds clear! We love it! Nebraska, not so much, it stayed....and stayed....and piled up....and stayed! Blek! But, at least Nebraska was good at plowing ALL the roads so you could still get around. Here in Aurora they only clear the absolute main roads, in the neighborhoods they only plow the path to the schools, and the rest of us our out of luck and stuck. It was a heated subject for me this winter. (Of course, for some reason we must have just brought the snow with us when we moved because Omaha hardly got ANY snow this year! phewy.)

Anyhow, as soon as it stopped snowing we headed outside to clear the mess and had a fun family morning. I got the kids all bundled up, with an Omaha- freezing COLD frame of mind.....but the layers quickly came off as it was pretty warm out!

 All I can say is thank goodness for the snow blower we received as a gift from Jack's parents while we lived in Omaha!

The kids really wanted to build a snowman, and I started trying to build a traditional snowman....but I failed miserably.....so we adapted to my inabilities and made a sitting snowman:)
