We Got Some Snow

I am sure most of you have heard of the 3rd biggest blizzard that we had here in Chicago a week and half ago. If you have not, I am not sure how you missed it because it was pretty major. 

It started on a Tuesday afternoon.  Here we are watching the snow as it started to fall.  I guess Caroline was more interested in watching Addison.  People as us all the time if they have different personalities, here is an example of one little thing, Addison does not mind hats or hoods on her head and Caroline takes it off ASAP.

The aftermath....here are some pictures from around our place

This is the side of our building.  Normally there is a sidewalk in front of our cars but it was buried under 2 feet of snow.

Poor car.  Bad idea to park on the street that night.

The front of the building.  The snow drift was about 4-5 feet.

A view from our front door

We had to drag the girls out there.  They were not so thrilled about putting on the snow suits but they were fine once we were out there.

They did not care much about being out there and it was actually pretty windy still.  They just sat right on top of 2 feet of snow and barely sank into it.

Addison

Scott showing both of them snow.  They were at least interested enough to hold out their hand and touch it.


We are looking forward to next winter when they will find playing in snow a bit more fun.  Of course we are looking more forward to spring, summer and fall first :)
