After The Storm

The North East coast got hit by Blizzard "Albert" this weekend. It didn't start snowing until after dark. Our children anticipated the storm all day on Saturday. They had both fallen asleep before the snow started flying. It was very windy and stormy throughout the night. No matter how hard the wind whistled or the snow blew it did not wake them. It was as if they were being watched over. They looked like little angels in their beds. Imagine their amazement when they woke up and saw a foot of freshly fallen snow on the ground. They were very patient in waiting until the snowstorm stopped. We got out of the house in the early afternoon to go out and play. What a ball they had. We had a snowball fight and went sledding around the yard. The kids made snow angels. After we finished playing we came inside and had hot chocolate together as a family. It was as if all the waiting made things that much better.
