It turned out to be a white Christmas for us. As well as most of Arkansas. As a state, we were not prepared for this winter storm. No roads were salted and all the road crews were off due to the holiday. Our town received 10-12 inches of snow. We were snowed in for 3 days. 2 of those without electricity. I was happy to receive the snow but....
it was not fun. Especially with 2 young kids who don't understand why they can't watch tv, turn lights on, or play on the computer.
TJ's behavior was less than desirable during these days. I struggle with what to write/say since this is a public blog. I guess I'll just leave it at that.
Our trees toppled over due to the weight of the ice and snow. I was able to save the Japanese Maple tree from the doomed fate of the other 2 trees. All it took was a broom and some work to get the snow and ice off of its branches.
This was Meili's first major snow experience. It snowed about 1 inch last year (which is our normal amount of snowfall). She was excited to be in the snow for maybe 2 minutes. When I explained that she had to zip up her jacket and put away her chocolate milk, she was ready to go back inside.
She is definitely her mother's daughter!
