Winter Has Arrived...

Now this is what I've been waiting for. A true New England Nor'Easter.  The storm started yesterday afternoon and continued  through out the night. I looked out my window to see snow swirling and drifting across my front lawn, the plows with their roaring engines on the roads, and the howling wind whipping the falling snow in all sorts of directions.

 It was quite a sight to see and I couldn't have been happier to finally receive the heavy snow fall that I have been dreaming of this winter.  Its been so cold without any snow for so long that I couldn't wait to run down to the bottom of my driveway and take a picture of this winter wonderland, (to document that we actually got snow this winter!)

The howling wind proved to be stronger than I thought! I brought Bella outside and discovered my snow covered garage.  It almost looks as if someone splattered white paint on a picture.  The extremely strong wind blew the snow so hard that it actually stuck to the side of my garage.  It's beautiful and I hope that it will stay like this for a long time!

Oh how my little girl loves the snow! Jumping, running and playing in the snow, winter has proved to be one of Bella's favorite seasons.  I watched this morning as my oldest son played with Bella in our front yard.  Improvising on fun, he used a snow shovel to hurl snow in the air while Bella jumped straight up off the ground all the while trying to eat the falling snow.  It was hilarious watching her little legs hop through the snow as fast as she could while trying to catch my son.  Quickly snapping this picture of her anticipating my sons next move has become my most favorite picture of Bella!
