The Blizzard and the Bowl

If you haven't heard...we got a little snow in the Capitol this weekend! Two feet according to the yard stick we put on our deck. Here is a picture of our now 10 foot tall Suburban!
Brooke hasn't been willing to wear her boots and snow pants on previous snow falls so this was her first time coming outside to play this winter. She said she had fun and I managed to get a few pictures.
The snow was pretty hard for her to navigate considering it's depth!
Sledding in the front yard.
Poor Jonah didn't know how to go to the bathroom considering he couldn't even move in the snow...
We had some damaged trees from the weight of the snow. Our neighbors had 4 huge Cypress trees that are broken under the weight of the snow. Baileigh is my snow bunny and stays outside until forced back in by her mother out of fear of her freezing!
Our snow fall started on Friday afternoon. We haven't ventured out since then and have heard things are still bad. The federal government actually has a snow day today so conditions must not be great! Considering we've been cooped up it was nice to have some brave friends over on Sunday night to watch the Super Bowl. Our party was smaller then originally planned, but we had fun none the less...despite watching it with Saints fans and I was cheering for the Colts!
I heard this year that Thanksgiving is the number 1 food consumption day of the year followed by Super Bowl being number 2! We did our part to keep that statistic true!
I got a little crafty with our desserts!
It's another snow day today and another storm is anticipated for Tuesday night...can you say cabin fever!
