New England Winter Has Begun!

These first few pictures were taken last week. It was 56 degrees! We got outside for one last play in nice weather. It didn't last long. A few days later a big storm came in and we got about 14 inches of snow in an afternoon! I could only take a few pictures before the camera was covered in snow. It would have shut things down for days in Dayton, but they were plowing our road, which is a small circle street by midnight. It was amazing! Welcome to New England winters!!

Addison's new trick...when she sees the camera she gets this goofy grin on her face and says "cheeeese!" It's pretty funny.

Our driveway has a gradual slant to it and one of Arilyn's favorite things to do is to ride this tiny car that she got for her 1st birthday down the hill. She gets going so fast! She loves it.

And then the snow began! It started snowing around 1pm and didn't stop until around 10:30pm. It was crazy! This was Addison's first snow experience. She liked most of it, but it was snowing so hard- she didn't like it when it hit her face!

This was supposed to be a picture of Shawn and Arilyn playing, but you can barely see them through the snow.

Ellie loves the snow. She was running everywhere and so playful! Graysen, on the other hand does not like the snow so much. She hates the cold and just stood by the door waiting to go inside.

Arilyn had fun going down her snow covered slide! You can really see in this picture the snow covering their hats. We were only outside for about 20 minutes at this point and Arilyn's hat was covered in snow.
