Blizzard 2009

Throughout the day we have seen about 2 feet of snow. It is majestic, beautiful, peaceful, amazing. It is no secret I absolutely, positively love the snow and get so very excited (just as much as Chloe). So very happy this year that Owen as just as excited and Aiden doesn't seem to mind the fluffy stuff either. Here is som of our adventures today, minus pictures of shoveling the driveway 5 times.

1. Owen loves the snow but not when falling in his face.
2. Owen still enjoys a good snow eating.
3. Aiden also quickly started to eat the snow off his mitts.
4. Aiden enjoys the snow but get frustrated that he can't crawl.
5. The snow still brings out the puppy in Chloe.
6. Chester hops like a bunny to get through the tall snow.
7. Nothing brought me more joy today than my whole family playing in the snow.

First Steps into the Blizzard
Snow Excited!

Cold Face

Owen enjoyed watching me make snow angels, he did not want to join.

We enjoyed taking a seat.

I sat so that I could block the wind from Owen, it really bothered him. And of course Owen enjoyed eating the snow.

Omer took Owen on a quick sled run

Then we took a walk through the streets

After we came in from our afternoon excursion we all enjoyed some hot cocoa, or for Owen cold cocoa by request.

Then Owen wanted to play snow with the flour.

Chloe came in and Aiden spotted the snow on her and crawled over to pick it off to eat. I know gross!

Determined snow eater stooped after he got a little fur.

Here is some video of our fun afternoon in the blizzard. We all really had a wonderful afternoon.
