The Blizzard of 2009!

DC had a record breaking snow storm and after 12 hours of snowing, the girls couldn't wait any longer to go out in it.


Katie in snow so deep she could barely walk through it!
You can see Bill in the background with the yard stick measuring...


He measured 13" in the protected part of the patio Saturday morning! And, it continued to snow all day and into the night. By the time it quit snowing Saturday night, the snow was nearly 2 feet deep in the back yard and almost up to the girls' waists.


Our front yard is a winter wonderland!





The girls try a little sledding. Katie heading up the neighbor's front yard with her sled.


Ella stuck about halfway down!


Daddy plays sled dog and the girls mush him up and down the street ... the snow was so deep, the girls sank!



Checking out the snow on the back porch.
Ella said the top of the picnic table looked like a giant snow cake.






In the play house. Notice the snow is nearly to the top of the little half door.
By evening time, the little door was covered!


Ella in her little house, checking out the snow.


Our only outside Christmas decoration this year... looking pretty in the snow!


Our house on Fiddlers Green





The next day... time to clear the driveway!
The girls watch as Daddy gets to work!!


Half way...


Katie makes a snow angel.


The snow is perfect today for making a snowman... er, excuse me, a snowGIRL!











Daddy and the girls taking a rest in the snow and admire their hard work.
