A little over a week after Hurricane Sandy, the Nor'easter Snow Storm arrived last night. Some of our friends re-lost electricity as power lines broke, lots of branches bent and snapped (as a result of the fall leaves being covered in heavy snow), and school was cancelled due to several of inches of thick, heavy snow. Thankfully we retained our 1/2 power (meaning with extension cords we have everything except stove/oven and washer/dryer capabilities). The kids had a fabulous time playing in the winter wonderland!
The kids enjoyed hitting the snow off of the bending tree branches
which are normally way too high for them to reach.
The fall leaves under and on top of the snow was such an interesting sight.

Snowball Fights
After an hour of fun, Greg and Christian shoveled the driveway. Christian wanted to help Greg, but we only have one, adult snow shovel so Christian used the dustpan to assist. We're going to get him a little shovel of his own to help out with next time. :)
While the boys worked hard outside, Abbie came inside and enjoyed hot chocolate. :)
