Blizzard of 2011

I don't think these pictures really do the blizzard justice!!!  Luckily, I was able to escape DC and get back home so that Grandma was not solo with the gals while Erik was trapped in Portland.  The snow was absolutely crazy, I have not seen anything like that in some time!  I think we got over 20 inches when all was said and done.  Alana and I braved the cold and shoveled.  She was a trooper....for about 20 minutes.  Then she decided she was too cold and I lost my shovel buddy!  I also had to dig us out of 4+ foot drifts in our alley.  What an adventure!!!!
