It seems that every time we leave New Jersey they get hit by a major snowstorm. So again this year we returned from the holidays to snow...approximately 2 feet of it. Of course that doesn't compare to what we saw in Minnesota but it is not the norm here in Jersey. Last year they were hit with a major snow storm that closed the airports, lucky for us we were already gone. This year the same thing happened, again lucky us...we were already long gone. But Poor Aunt Laura and Uncle Jeff got stranded in New York. They had a rough holiday with a funeral and rearranging flights and a long stay in a hotel. I think to say that they were ready to get home to Phoenix would be an understatement. Leah on the other hand was so happy to be home and to play in the snow. Last year during our Nor' easters that dumped a few feet of snow on us she had so much fun playing and building a snowman. This year she was eager to get out and give it another try. Of course it helped that she had watched Frosty the Snowman umpteen times this Christmas so she happily named her snowman Frosty. Kiersten on the other hand was a little less eager to get out and play in the snow. Actually she wanted to be outside. She stood at the sliding glass door and cried and cried for her Daddy and Leah but she wanted nothing to do with the white stuff. I know looking at the pictures you are thinking "Good Lord, Mommy put some clothes on that baby." But the temperature was actually up in the mid-50's, Mitch and Leah were both too warm so we figured her fleece romper and winter hat would suffice. Besides she was out there for a whole 5 minutes. I just love her reactions to the snow. I was happy that I snapped the picture just at the right time when she was rearing up to let loose with a wail. Another thing that makes my heart smile is seeing how Leah wore the white little lamb hat with her snowman last year and in this year's picture Kiersten is donning the adorable fleece as white as snow. Maybe next up will be snow angels.
