Thundersnow!

We woke up around 7 and there was no snow.  We grumbled and got ready for work.  By the time we were ready to go, it was DUMPING- this is about an hour into the storm.  SNOW DAY!

It was lighting and thundering also, which was SO bizarre

Huge snowflakes

Watching Nikita  and Berlin play in the snow on the Polar Bear Cam at the Zoo

Finally get to go outside!  We've had pretty warm winters since he has been born, so this kid has very little snow experience.  I think that is the first time he's ever worn that snow suit.

The path Matt makes for the mailman.  Also to get over the Chuck's next door.  He's older and has been in a wheelchair since he was a boy due to polio.  Matt, Ethan, the neighbor boy, and May's boyfriend across the street went to town on his driveway and got it all dug out in case he need to go anywhere.  I love seeing that. We have great people on our street.

B and Charlie

Big sister taking Charlie on his first sled ride!  How sad that he had to be 2 1/2 before that happened?

I love Fred in this picture

SNOW!  B is making a snow angel, E is throwing a snowball at Fred and Charlie is just soaking it all in...

Charlie LOVED the snow...then he HATED the snow....then he LOVED the snow...then he HATED the snow- all depending on how much snow was on his face

Oops...should have brought the trike inside.

It won't go anywhere!

Soon after this, he got a bunch of snow on his face and freaked out.  We went in....
