Day after Christmas Storm

We woke up the day after Christmas still not feeling well so it turned out to be a good day to have a huge snow storm come through, and it was a huge storm.

Cooper loves the snow, so we let him out and he ran all the way to a neighbors and wouldn't come home so John and Katie went to find him right as the snow was getting heavy.

Katie and Aaron couldn't wait to go sledding so John took them out and they had a blast, but the storm was still going and the wind was pretty strong so they didn't last to long.

After a few trips up the hill and you get pretty tired. Katie loves to be out in the snow so she lasted the longest.

It is so nice to have a sledding hill in your front yard, mom gets to watch from the window inside the nice warm house.

Just before coming inside Katie and Aaron had to make snow angles, nice job guys!

The storm started Sunday evening and snowed all night and into the afternoon on Monday so early evening, when it stopped snowing we had about a foot on the ground but the wind was up to 40 mph at times so some of the drifts were even deeper.

The snow was so bad and the wind was still blowing so hard that John's work was closed Monday so it was nice to have an extra day to be home together. It took John about 2 hours to get out driveway cleared, what a job! We love the snow but it stinks to have to clean it up after. Welcome winter to New England!
