Happy Birthday Jerry

Seeing that Winter storm Benedict brought all that they said it would and more, Jerry's birthday gift this year was shovel!!  Just kidding.  But really, I have never in my life seen this much snow all at once and I am tickled silly about it.  We woke yesterday morning to 8 or more inches on the ground and predictions of snow all day long.  I think it finally stopped somewhere around 8 pm.  Given that I am off work for the next few days, I am perfectly happy to be snowed in!

 The view out the back door at 8am, beautiful!
 The view out the front door at 8am, yikes!!

 The view at noon and still snowing hard!





 We think the van is in there somewhere!

Daddy couldn't help himself.  He face planted in the first fluffy spot he found!

Now it's time to find the van.
Yup, it's in there!
Making good progress Daddy!

The next morning, is that the sun?
I know this must be salt in the wounds of all of our southern family who have been snowed in for a week, but this is our small side street just 12 hours after the snow stopped.  The CT DOT ROCKS!!
We ventured out again today and the snow in the back is up to my knees.  Poor Ansley can barely walk.  She cries whenever snow touches her skin and is forced to crawl wherever she wants to go because she gets stuck!!

We ended the day with a steak dinner for daddy and his favorite cake, ICE CREAM CAKE!!!  Happy 32nd Birthday Daddy!!  We love you!!
