the big snow!

we had a blizzard in chicago... it was all that the tv news stations said it would be. jason shut down the warehouse early and came home from work. we settled in for the storm... it was quite cozy from where we were sitting. snow is especially pretty when you're watching from the windows.

my pictures don't do it justice - it's difficult to see how high the snow really was. we put millie in her snowsuit and took the dogs outside to check out the situation - they weren't impressed with the beautiful white wonderland in our backyard. it was untouched and so quiet... beautiful.
i thought it would be really fun to take pictures of the winter
fun - millie begged to differ. 

this is our street... the view from our front door.  

how thankful i am to have a garage!

these were taken before we went outside... she was pretty confused by the "mitten" function of her snowsuit - fingers were inacessible because of mittens. this made pushing buttons on the remote control impossible. awesome.

even jake was intimidated by the mounds of fluff...

we were literally snowed in!
