Blizzard

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a blessed 2011. We have been very busy and have been having tons of fun. More posts to come, but first, the blizzard. The day after Christmas, it started snowing. We had heard we would be getting between 6 and 12 inches, but we didn't really believe it. But then it snowed, and snowed and we woke up to this:

Preparing to go out into the snow.

Our greatest worry was the safety of some of our family traveling from Arkansas to see us. We were very thankful when they made it safely, unfortunately our electricity went out. We made the best of it though: pizza, lots of layers to stay warm, and playing cards by candlelight!
