Hunker Down! It's a Blizzard!

We've been hearing about this possible blizzard all week and Tuesday afternoon it finally hit.  By Wednesday morning nearly everything was closed down and travel was not advised on ANY roads.  There were cars in the ditch everywhere according to the news.  One of my mom's coworkers went into the ditch Tuesday evening after work and she had to spend the night in the ditch!  The rescue crews weren't even going out in that stuff!  (She's at home safe and sound now.)
Looks like we won't be going out THIS door!

Nana didn't dare try to make it to our house this morning.  They closed the bank so Papa was home too.  Daniele and Will couldn't get out of their driveway.  And of course, Nini and Eggroll are in Cabo soaking up the sun.  Jason closed his store and there was no way I was going to be able to drive around to see patients in the rural areas.  So what do you do during a blizzard when everyone is stuck at home?

Watch out the front door for Daddy to fly by on a sled behind neighbor Greg's 4 wheeler...

 Join Daddy outside for some cold winter fun...(Nolan and I stayed inside)
Jason and Nash
 Play dinosaurs while eating fruit snacks...

 Invite the neighbor girls over to watch a movie...
Nash didn't get a nap...can you tell?
 Invite the neighbors over for Wii and snacks...
Look at those game faces!
The news said they measured over 16 feet of snow at the airport.  They were projecting 9 to 13 inches for us.  It's hard to tell exactly how much we got because the wind was SO bad!  Whatever the amount, we had a fun SNOW DAY!
