SNOW DAY!

Pictures of our back and front yard...

So, Dan wants me to specify that this is Helo's second snow fall.
However, it is the first time Helo ever went out in the snow!

Helo and Mommy right before we went out.
Helo was all bundled up with...
a long sleeve onsie, pants, socks, zip up winter pj's,
scratch mittens, thick mittens (Great Grandma Janny made them),
a jacket, warm up pants, a binie, and (when we got outside) Mommy's scarf.
(yes, it was a pink scarf...but it was Mommy's)
He was WARM, and ready for the snow.

Daddy and Helo, I Love this second Picture!

Helo and Mommy in the snow!

Helo and Uncle Chris in the snow!
DO NOT get in a snow fight with Chris!!!
If you do....RUN!
He likes to get the snow in between you and your clothes...PUNK!
It was fun though getting him back on the living room floor,
right when he thought it was over. Hehehe.

Right before we all went inside, Mommy wanted pictures of Helo IN the snow.
So we laid Helo in the snow and took a couple pics.
When we went to pick up Helo...
The snow was SO thick that it was like Helo was lying on the carpet.
The snow had NO indentions, it like it just fell.

The Three Of Us!
This storm was, well...WOW. Every one N E S and W of us had no power. Some were out of power for 5 days or more! So Dan and I stocked up on wood (in case others needed some too), but we never lost power. We were good on food too (Thanks Mom for all the food storage). But the day after this snow fall it was supposed to just rain and melt away. Instead, it snowed more and the previous snow turned to ice and weighed down all the trees. Trees were snapping in half and branches falling every where. One huge part of a tree hit Helo's window in the middle of the night, Dan and I jumped out of bed! Luckily the branch only tore the screen. I will add those pics to the next blog.
Some streets were closed, people evacuated, just due to trees. It was insane!!! Dan and Chris helped people that were stuck in the snow too (just to park your car under a carport was an adventure). To say the least... This storm was an event you would have to experience yourself to understand.
Overall, Helo had a lot of fun. We would make snowballs and let Him slobber all over them.
You could tell He really didn't know how to react.
But that was the best part... watching Him discover!
Love You Helo!
