A few wintery scenes for Rosie

Dear Rosie,

Today we were busy shoveling out. The show is so deep I'm pretty sure when you move in there will be plenty of us to create a snow fort with.

 Here I am in the backyard where snow was up to my knees or higher in most places.

 I thought this was a pretty shot of our alley. The thing I like about snow storms are how bright and peaceful everything seems afterward.

 Here's our garage, and you can see the plows have created snow banks that are easily 4 feet high.

 
My car is just covered in snow, especially in the front.

The only bummer was we were supposed to go bake cookies with your cousin, Abby, as well as your aunts, uncles and grandparents. Since they haven't plowed our street, we had to skip it. I love baking cookies, especially Christmas cookies. When you join our family we can make sugar cookies to frost and decorate together. I hope you can help!

Anyway, this is the most snow in one storm since I was nearly your age, and it was kind of fun. We hope you had fun, too.

Love,
Mom
