All the snowflakes were cut by Jelly Bean
My mom sent me these cute shirts for Christmas
a couple years ago. There are three and they are
hanging from a piece of red yarn that is attached
to the curtain rod.

This picture isn't actually up in the windows.
Jelly Bean drew it for part of the wall
decorations for the preschool area. She
does one every season. This one is Winter!

So we had all of these winter decorations
up in January, but there was hardly any snow
on the ground.

And then, just as February began,
The Blizzard came!
Our little pinecone tree is "flocked"

Our street looks like it is plowed, but it
really isn't. A pickup truck with a plow on

driveway was shoveled, but the snow was too thick

All in all, we were snowed in for about 48 hours. The alleys are considered the lowest priority for the snow plows. The snow started for us Tuesday afternoon, and we were out by Thursday afternoon. But we had games and movies and food and heat and power so it was all good! Although I am glad to know that if I WANT to get out today, I can!

What great pictures of the blizzard! And now it has all unfortunately melted -- I thought it would last a couple of months at least.
