Snow!

FINALLY!  After our dreams of a white Christmas crashed and burned, we finally got some love from Old Man Winter.  As a good Vermont girl, this brings me nothing but joy.

It's very important to be properly prepared for a snow storm.  The media focuses on bread, milk, and eggs, but I find bloody marys and hot chocolate to be the key to survival.

It really was no joke.  When we went to bed on Friday the weather service was estimating 6-8" but we ended up getting two feet.  Not too shabby.  And Brian was thrilled to be able to justify his new snow blower.  Just look at him go!

After the madness...the neighbors came and played all day, and the kids practically turned in to snowmen, but I ended the night exactly as it should be.

Brian took the big kids sledding.  Apparently the "Penguin Slide" is the winning technique.

Cheers!
